  • Patent number: 11717880
    Abstract: A method for forming a wax model for the manufacture of turbine blades by lost-wax casting, in which a core is provided, a lower surface shell and an upper surface shell are positioned and bonded on either side of ducts of the core adjacent to the root, the core equipped with the lower surface shell and with the upper surface shell is positioned in an injection mold, wax is injected around the core equipped with the lower surface shell and with the upper surface shell, so as to form a wax model including a blade airfoil and a blade root including a fir tree, the lower surface shell and the upper surface shell being positioned around the core so as to form a portion of the fir tree of the wax model.

  • Patent number: 11618071
    Abstract: A core for the foundry of an aeronautical part such as a turbine blade, the core being intended to be disposed in an inner housing defined by a mold, the core comprising a body intended to form the internal shape of the turbine blade, an impact portion, disposed on at least a portion of the periphery of the body so as to break a fluid jet when filling the inner housing with the fluid, the impact portion comprising a top and at least one deflection wall converging towards the top.

  • Patent number: 10835951
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of assembling together a first core (12) and a second core (14) in order to make a non-permanent model configured for use in lost wax molding to form a part having a first cavity and a second cavity corresponding respectively to the first core and to the second core. The invention is characterized by the fact that the first and second cores (12, 14) are assembled together with a first spacer (20), the first spacer (20) being arranged between the first and second cores.

  • Patent number: 10562093
    Abstract: A feed system for conveying a molten metal that is to make a casting, the system including a feed channel made of ceramic material that is configured to enable the molten metal to flow by gravity inside the feed channel, the feed channel having a first portion extending in a first direction, and at least one second portion extending in a second direction different from the first direction, the second portion being arranged downstream from the first portion and being connected to the first portion by a junction. The system further includes a damping channel having a first end opening out into the junction and a second end that is closed, the damping channel extending the first portion of the feed channel.

  • Patent number: 9381565
    Abstract: The invention relates to the field of monocrystalline casting, and in particular to a mold (1) for monocristalline casting comprising at least a molding cavity (7), a starter cavity (10) having at least a first volume (10a) in the form of an upside-down funnel, and a distinct second volume (10b) forming a plinth at the bottom of the first volume and projecting perceptibly relative to said first volume in at least one horizontal direction, a selector channel (9) connecting said starter cavity (10) to said molding cavity (7), and a support rod (20) that is laterally offset relative to said selector channel, and that connects the second volume (10b) of the starter cavity (10) to the molding cavity (7). The invention also provides a casting method using such a mold (1).
