  • Patent number: 11435279
    Abstract: A method for analysing a bonding between two aeronautical parts. The method includes the steps of a) applying a release agent to a first surface to be bonded of a first part and to a second surface to be bonded of a second part, b) applying an adhesive to at least one of the first and second surfaces and positioning these surfaces on top of each other, the adhesive forming an adhesive film after polymerisation, c) separating the parts from each other and removing the adhesive film in one piece, d) analysing the adhesive film. The invention also relates to a method for bonding two aeronautical parts.

  • Publication number: 20220072742
    Abstract: A curing mold for manufacturing a turbomachine component is made of composite material from a preform, including: a first and a second body defining an air gap receiving the preform; at least one primary channel arranged in the first and/or the second body; an injection member of a pressurized fluid in the primary channels; at least one secondary channel, in which a piston slides, which delimits, on the one hand, a first chamber in communication with the or a primary channel and, on the other hand, a second chamber in communication with the air gap, and which is designed to compress thermosetting resin which has entered the second chamber from the preform in the air gap, so as to put the preform under hydrostatic pressure.

  • Publication number: 20220016812
    Abstract: A curing mold for manufacturing a turbomachine part made of composite material from a preform produced by draping pre-impregnated materials includes: a first body and a second body designed to be attached to each other and jointly defining a fixed air gap for receiving the preform and itself including a molding part of complementary shape with the part to be manufactured and intended to receive a portion to be molded of the preform, and at least one additional part located in a peripheral space of the air gap and intended to receive an additional portion forming an edge of the preform; a heating member designed to heat the preform in the air gap to a first temperature; at least one inflatable bladder housed in the first or second body, facing an additional part of the air gap; a member for injecting a pressurized fluid inside the bladder(s).
