  • Patent number: 11878390
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cold expansion device (36) for work hardening a through bore (34) in a turbine engine part (32), comprising at least one chuck (38) supporting a burnisher (40) and a means (41) for pushing the chuck (38) in an axial direction, and is characterised in that it comprises at least: —a tubular guide (42) configured to guide the burnisher (40) to the bore (34), —a first magnetic attachment means (51) arranged at a free end (44) of the chuck (38), —the burnisher (40), comprising a work surface (46) and an end (48) comprising second magnetic attachment means (49) complementary to the first magnetic attachment means (51), and in that the axial pushing means (41) is configured to push the burnisher through the bore (34) until it emerges from stud bore.
