Abstract

A method of manufacturing an assembly, including a plurality of blades mounted in a platform preparing a mixture of metal powder and thermoplastic binder, includes manufacturing the blades separately from the platform, and finishing the blades after the manufacturing. The method also includes injecting the mixture into a mold to obtain a platform blank, removing the binder from the platform blank prior to assembling the finished blades with the blank, inserting one end of the finished blades into a housing formed in the platform blank in order to assemble the assembly, and sintering the assembly comprising the platform blank and the finished blades to unify the assembly.

Claims (9)

1. A method of manufacturing an assembly comprising a plurality of blades mounted in a platform, comprising:

manufacturing the blades separately from the platform, and finishing the blades after the manufacturing;

preparing a mixture of metal powder and thermoplastic binder;

injecting the mixture into a mold to obtain a platform blank;

removing the binder from the platform blank prior to assembling the finished blades with said blank;

inserting one end of the finished blades into a housing formed in the platform blank in order to assemble the assembly, the finished blades being fitted into the platform blank when the platform blank has not yet been densified by sintering; and

sintering the assembly comprising the platform blank and the finished blades to unify the assembly.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , in which the assembly comprises a plurality of finished blades the ends of which are mounted between an inner platform and an outer platform, and the ends of the finished blades are unified with the platform blanks by sintering the metal powder.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising creating a deposit on at least one of the finished blades and the platform blank, the deposit encouraging diffusion of the finished blades and the platform blank.
