  • Patent number: 7241961
    Abstract: A TIG welding method of welding a first part with a first wall and an end edge to a second part with a second wall and an edge along a junction surface between said edges and along which the first wall forms a salient angle with the second wall. The TIG welding electrode is moved along the junction surface to weld the first part to the second part. The electrode being aligned on the side of the salient angle at an angle (?) with respect to the first wall smaller than 180° and with the longitudinal axis of the electrode running through the re-entrant angle associated with the salient angle.

  • Publication number: 20050258144
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a TIG welding method of a first part with a first wall and an end edge to a second part with a second wall and an edge, both parts being welded to one another along a junction surface between said edges and along which the first wall forms a salient angle with the second wall. The method characterised in that the electrode is moved along said surface, the electrode being laid out on the side of the salient angle according to an angle (?) with respect to the first wall smaller than 180°, the direction (D) of the electrode running through the re-entrant angle associated with the salient angle. The method is applied in particular to the welding of plug guides to a combustion chamber jacket of a gas turbine motor.

  • Publication number: 20020189260
    Abstract: A combustion chamber for a gas turbine made up of outer and inner side walls, the combustion chamber being received in a casing so as to define an annular space between the combustion chamber and the casing in which there flows air for combustion, for dilution, and for cooling the combustion chamber, the side walls of the combustion chamber being pierced by a plurality of holes in which bushings of substantially elliptical right section are fixed to define air injection passages for injecting air into the combustion chamber, each bushing having a peripheral wall in which at least one additional orifice is formed opening out into the combustion chamber in the immediate vicinity of the side wall of the combustion chamber in which said bushing is fixed so that the air passing through said orifice flows substantially along said peripheral wall, the peripheral wall of each bushing having at least one groove opening out into the annular space and into which the or each orifice opens out so as to be fed with air and
