  • Manufacturing process for making a dome element provided with thermal protection for a solid propellant rocket engine
    Patent number: 10821655
    Abstract: For producing a dome-shaped element (2) provided with thermal protection for a solid propellant rocket engine, a coupling annular body (4) is arranged in a mold (5) and has a surface (20) that is clean and activated, by an atmospheric-pressure plasma treatment, before depositing a primer layer (26) and an adhesive layer (27) on the surface (20); ablative material is then automatically applied to the adhesive layer and to an area (17) of the mold (5) so as to form a series of superimposed layers (30).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 26, 2018
    Date of Patent: November 3, 2020
    Assignee: AVIO S.P.A.
    Inventors: Daniele Schiariti, Massimiliano Cardelli

  • Forming machine for forming a hollow body, in particular a casing of a solid propellant engine, and deposit head for such a forming machine
    Patent number: 10213971
    Abstract: In a machine for forming a hollow body, for example a casing of a solid propellant engine, a tensioned and guided belt comprising a layer of adhesive material and a protective strip is fed from a deposit head, supported by a robot and comprising an unwinding device for unwinding the belt, a winding device for winding the strip, a first pressing roller for pressing the strip and the layer of adhesive material and rotatable about an axis thereof orthogonal to the feed path of the belt and a second pressing roller for pressing the adhesive material and the strip, rotatable about an axis thereof forming an angle other than 90° to the feed path and movable in opposite directions in a direction transversal to feed path.
