Abstract

A method for manufacturing an integral rotationally symmetrical part, which includes producing a blank of the part around a cylindrical mandrel, the blank including at least one fibrous structure made of composite ceramic fibers coated with metal, followed by a diffusion-welding treatment of the blank by hot isostatic pressing, and optionally machining the thus-treated blank to obtain the part. The blank includes at least a first metal-wire layer between the mandrel and the composite fibrous structure, and at least a second metal-wire layer arranged around the composite fibrous structure to cover the composite fibrous structure.

Claims (14)

1. A method for manufacturing a single-piece part of revolution, comprising:

producing a preform of the part around a cylindrical mandrel, the preform comprising at least one fibrous structure formed by metal-coated ceramic composite fibers;

diffusion welding treatment of the preform by hot isostatic compaction; and

machining of the preform to obtain the part,

the preform comprises at least one first layer of metal wire between the mandrel and the fibrous structure and at least one second layer of metal wire around the fibrous structure so as to embed the fibrous structure, the mandrel comprising two tapered parts that can be separated from one another.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first layer of metal wire is configured to form, after the compaction of the preform, a cylindrical portion capable of forming, after the machining, an inner wall of the part.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first layer of metal wire is formed by winding one or more metal wires around the mandrel.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the metal wire is of type obtained by wire drawing and of same type of metal as that which coats the composite fibers.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein different layers are put in place at ambient temperature.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the coated fibers of the fibrous structure are arranged in one and same direction, or an axial direction of the part.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the fibrous structure is formed by winding one or more laps or fabrics of parallel metal composite fibers or of individual and parallel fibers arranged in succession around the mandrel.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the layers are at least partly linked together by bonding, welding, or by foils.

9. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein transverse radial ribs are formed, at longitudinal ends of the preform, by winding metal wire.

10. The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein a ceramic fiber reinforcement is incorporated in the transverse ribs.
