Publication number: 20200103111Abstract: A method for producing an annular combustion chamber of a turbojet using CMC. For this, a shaping tool with movable slides is used and said chamber is produced around the tool, thereby producing a fibrous preform of which the shape is consolidated by drape moulding on the tool and pyrolysis, which is then densified by CVI. Several slides have back drafts, at least one other of such slides having a draft or neither a draft nor a back draft. Then, the slides are removed in a predetermined order imposed by the back drafts and the relative positions of the slides.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 24, 2019Publication date: April 2, 2020Applicant: Safran Aircraft EnginesInventors: Jacques Marcel Arthur Bunel, William Louis Rodolphe Dousse, Dan Ranjiv Joory, Benjamin Frantz Karl Villenave
