Abstract: Tooling (10) for making slots in a multistage disk (1) by electrochemical machining. The tooling comprises first and second rings (20) arranged coaxially about a disk axis and configured to act as cathodes, each ring having an inside periphery with a plurality of radial machining projections. The first and second rings (20) are rigidly secured relative to each other. A method of making slots in a multistage disk by electrochemical machining using such a tool.

Abstract: A method for producing cavities in a turbomachine disk, the cavities extending between first and second lateral surfaces of the disk, the method including positioning a ring facing the first surface, the ring including an inner periphery including protrusions complementary in shape to the cavities that are to be produced; circulating an electrolyte close to the protrusions on the ring; activating a first translational movement of the ring towards the second surface; activating a rotation of the disk; generating an electric current pulse in the electrolyte when the ring is substantially at the first surface, the pulse resulting in the ionic dissolution of the disk at the protrusions; reducing the speed of rotation to a first reduced speed, when the ring is substantially at the first surface, for a first period of time; and stopping the first translation of the ring when the ring is beyond the second surface.
