  • Patent number: 8869378
    Abstract: A manufacturing process of a monobloc vaned disc including a cutout by abrasive water jet, including: a continuous cutout, with an ejection head of a tool opposite a first face of the block, of a piece passing through the thickness of the block, the continuous cutout revealing a junction line between a second face of the block opposite the first, and the surface of the block cut out by the abrasive water jet; followed by at least one enhancement cutout, with the ejection head opposite the second face of the block, of a piece extending only over part of the thickness of the block, and integrating at least part of the junction line.
