  • Aircraft turbomachine casing and method of manufacturing same
    Patent number: 12129761
    Abstract: A casing of an aircraft turbomachine includes an annular shell extending around an axis A and made of a composite material having fibers that which are woven and embedded in a resin. An annular layer made of abradable material extends inside the shell, around axis A and is obtained by spreading and polymerizing a paste. Support panels extend around axis A and are interposed between the shell and the abradable layer.

  • Method for producing a casing for an aircraft turbine engine
    Patent number: 11788434
    Abstract: Method for manufacturing a casing of an aircraft turbomachine, the casing including an annular shell extending about an axis A and made of a composite material including fibres that are woven and immersed in a resin, the annular layer including an abradable material arranged inside the shell, and covering a first inner annular surface of an intermediate section of the shell, the method including a step of gluing the layer on the first surface, during which the casing is heated and compressed by a system that is present at least partially inside the casing, wherein, prior to the heating and compression of the casing, a forming tool is mounted inside the casing and is made of two rings.
