METHOD FOR ELECTROPHORETICALLY COATING A CERAMIC MATRIX COMPOSITE PART WITH AN ENVIRONMENTAL BARRIER
Publication number: 20260176976Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing an environmental barrier coating (12) electrophoretically on a ceramic matrix composite part (10), the method comprising the following steps:—E10: electrophoretic application to the surface(S) of the part (10) of a liquid suspension of a composition comprising at least one rare earth silicate powder and conductive fillers;—E20: drying of the suspension applied; and—E30: sintering heat treatment of the rare earth silicate powder, characterized in that use is made, as conductive fillers, of at least one nitrate selected from the group consisting of aluminium, yttrium and ytterbium nitrates in an amount of between 0.2 and 1 millimole per litre of liquid suspension.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2022Publication date: June 25, 2026Applicants: SAFRAN CERAMICS, CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE (CNRS), UNIVERSITE PAUL SABATIER TOULOUSE III, INSTITUT NATIONAL POLYTECHNIQUE DE TOULOUSEInventors: Lisa PIN, Simon ARNAL, Manon PRIOUX, Florence ANSART, Sandrine DULUARD -
Patent number: 12421174Abstract: A part made of coated composite material, includes a substrate made of ceramic matrix composite material; a tie-coat layer covering the substrate; and a protective coating on the tie-coat layer and defining an environmental barrier, the protective coating including a rare-earth silicate and including a first outer region including an outer surface of the protective coating opposite to the substrate and having a first working creep, having deformation of less than or equal to 0.07% when a compressive stress of at least 50 MPa is applied for a duration of 10 hours at a temperature of between 1050° C. and 1300° C. The first region includes a grain growth inhibitor; and a second, inner, environmental barrier region, including an interface of the protective coating with the tie-coat layer and having a second working creep.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2022Date of Patent: September 23, 2025Assignee: SAFRAN CERAMICSInventors: Thomas Vandellos, Simon Arnal, Eric Bouillon, Lallie Claudie Régine Quemeras

Publication number: 20250026689Abstract: A core for producing a blade is formed by molding a fibrous preform around the core. The core extends in a longitudinal direction (L) between a root and a tip and has a first face and a second face connected to each other at a first longitudinal edge and at a second longitudinal edge. The core includes fluid passages formed in a transverse thickness of the core, these fluid passages being adapted to allow the passage of fluid from the first face to the second face and vice versa.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2022Publication date: January 23, 2025Inventors: Simon ARNAL, Gaël Philippe François BATTISTONI, Benjamin COSSOU, Rémy Pierre Marie DUPONT, Gilles Gérard Claude LEPRETRE
