  • Patent number: 11261756
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a casing, for example, an exhaust casing, for a turbomachine. The method generally includes: (a) producing casing sectors, each casing sector having a hub sector, a ferrule sector, and at least one arm linking the hub and ferrule sectors, (b) arranging the casing sectors adjacently and circumferentially, such that each hub sector has longitudinal edges facing longitudinal edges of adjacent hub sectors, (c) welding the longitudinal edges facing the hub sectors, and (d) adding and welding at least a second part of the ferrule to the casing sectors.

  • Patent number: 11060418
    Abstract: A casing is provided, for example, an exhaust casing for a turbomachine. The casing generally includes an inner hub having an axis of rotation and an outer annular ferrule extending around the hub, the ferrule configured to define, with the hub, an annular flow path for a gas stream. In some examples, the ferrule is rigidly connected to the hub by arms. The hub generally includes, at one longitudinal end, a scalloped annular flange comprising solid portions distributed at regular intervals about said axis and spaced apart from each other by hollow portions. The hub is produced by assembling several angular hub sectors arranged circumferentially end to end around the axis, each hub sector connected to an adjacent hub sector by a longitudinal weld bead that extends over substantially the entire axial extent of the hub and that is substantially aligned axially with a hollow portion of said flange.

  • Patent number: 11053890
    Abstract: The invention relates to an assembly comprising: a turbomachine exhaust case (110) that includes an external sleeve and an internal sleeve inside the former, both sleeves extending concentrically about a turbomachine axis, and also includes a plurality of arms extending radially between the sleeves; and an annular part (130) that is centered about the axis, is mounted on one sleeve of the exhaust case, and is located downstream of the exhaust case in the direction in which the air flows inside the turbomachine; the assembly is characterized in that the annular part and the sleeve of the exhaust case on which the annular part is mounted each have a circumferential thread (131, 115), said threads cooperating with each other in order to allow the annular part to be screwed onto the sleeve of the exhaust case.
