  • Mold for fabricating a monocrystalline blade by casting, a fabrication installation and method using the mold
    Patent number: 10576535
    Abstract: A ceramic material mold for use in molding a turbine engine blade from a molten metal, the blade including a root, an inner platform, an airfoil, and an outer platform, and the mold including a cavity having the shape of the blade, and an auxiliary grain duct including a first segment and a second segment that is an extension of the first segment, the first segment opening out at one end into a first portion of the cavity forming the root of the blade, and at another end into a second portion of the cavity forming a lip of the inner platform of the blade, the second segment opening out at one end into the second portion of the cavity, and at another end into a third portion of the cavity forming a lip of the outer platform of the blade.

  • Method for manufacturing a core for moulding a blade
    Patent number: 9981308
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a core for molding a blade of a turbomachine, including placing a flexible ceramic sheet in a cavity of a mold in such a way as to shape the ceramic sheet, introducing a ceramic paste into the cavity of the mold, the ceramic paste forming at least one frame in contact with the ceramic sheet, and co-sintering the ceramic sheet and the frame in such a way as to rigidly join together the ceramic sheet and the frame, the frame maintaining the shape of the ceramic sheet given by the mold during the preceding co-sintering phases.
