  • Publication number: 20240102390
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a hollow part made of composite material for an aircraft turbomachine, wherein: a) a preform is produced by the three-dimensional weaving of threads; b) the preform is cut so as to provide a separation; c) the cut preform is deformed so as to provide an orifice then comprising a first and a second open end (27a, 27b); d) the deformed preform is placed into an injection mould; e) a resin is injected in order to impregnate the whole of the deformed preform; f) the resin is polymerised; and g) a composite part is extracted from the mould; characterised in that: h) a flexible mandrel (31) with a predetermined shape is positioned in the orifice before the injection step e); i) the flexible mandrel (31) is removed after step f) or the demoulding step g), the composite part then having a hollow core (25).

  • Patent number: 11795836
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a blade made of composite material for a turbine engine, in particular of an aircraft, the steps of injecting a resin in order to impregnate a fibrous preform woven in three dimensions and polymerizing the resin so as to form the blade that includes an airfoil, one longitudinal end of which is connected to a platform. The platform includes pressure and suction portions connected to the airfoil by a fillet, wherein a separation is formed in the fibrous preform between the pressure and suction portions. The method further includes reinforcing a leading edge of the airfoil; and reinforcing the fillets by integration of a metal reinforcement on at least one part of the pressure and suction portions of the platform and in the separation.

  • Publication number: 20220055252
    Abstract: A preform has a fibrous reinforcement woven in one piece by three-dimensional weaving to create a fan inter-blade platform The platform includes an aerodynamic base and a fixing structure having stiffening elements that extend from the aerodynamic base. The preform includes a first fibrous part configured to form the aerodynamic base, second fibrous part configured to at least partially form the stiffening elements of the inter-blade platform, a first connection zone in which the first and second parts are woven together, and a first disconnection zone delimited by a first disconnection line extending in a transverse direction and in which the first and second parts are separated from one another. The first disconnection zone is adjacent to the first connection zone in a longitudinal direction L.
