  • Publication number: 20240093343
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a part, comprising the steps of chemically etching, in a wet acid medium, at least a portion of a surface of a substrate made of a monocrystalline superalloy, comprising at least one element chosen from rhenium and ruthenium, the substrate having a ?-?? phase, the substrate having an average mass fraction of rhenium and/or ruthenium greater than or equal to 3%, the chemical etching being done in such a way that the average mass fraction of rhenium and/or ruthenium over the portion of the surface of the substance is less than 2%, and a step of depositing on the portion of the substrate a protective coating having a ?-?? phase and an average mass fraction of rhenium and/or ruthenium of less than 1%.

  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20130115085
    Abstract: A process for depositing a ceramic layer on a metal substrate for producing a thermal barrier, the process including depositing the ceramic in a columnar structure. The deposition is carried out through a grid pierced with holes, which is positioned parallel to a surface of the substrate so as to produce ceramic columns separated from one another by a space. The process can further include a subsequent depositing of an isotropic ceramic layer in the spaces.
