  • Patent number: 11988107
    Abstract: A housing for an aircraft turbine engine includes an annular body extending around an axis A. The body includes a securing flange extending radially outwards at each of the axial ends thereof, and an abradable layer arranged inside the body. A method for manufacturing the housing includes a step b) of bonding the layer to the first surface, during which the housing is heated and compressed by a system present at least partially inside the housing. The method further includes, prior to step b), a step a) of mounting at least two tools between the flanges, each of the tools being located in a circumferential area outside the body so as to exert bearing forces in opposite axial directions on the flanges.

  • Patent number: 11891910
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a composite-material casing for a gas turbine, includes producing by three-dimensional weaving a fiber texture in the form of a strip, winding of the fiber texture around several superimposed turns on a mandrel with a profile corresponding to that of the casing to be manufactured in order to obtain a fiber preform of a shape corresponding to that of the casing to be manufactured, and densifying the fiber preform by a matrix. During the winding of the last turn of the fiber texture on the mandrel, at least one stiffening element is interposed between the before-last turn and the last turn of the fiber texture. The stiffening element projects over the outer surface of the before-last turn of the fiber texture. The stiffening element has an axial section of omega-type shape.

  • Patent number: 11702961
    Abstract: A gas turbine fan casing made of composite material with a fibrous reinforcement includes a plurality of superimposed turns of a strip-shaped fibrous texture having a three-dimensional weaving between a plurality of layers of warp yarns and a plurality of layers of weft yarns, the fibrous reinforcement being densified by a matrix. The fibrous texture includes at least one lateral section of variable thickness in which the weft yarns have a size or a count different from the size or the count of the weft yarns of the plurality of layers of weft yarns present in the remainder of the fibrous texture.
