Abstract

A casing for a blisk of a turbomachine including an internal coating made of an abradable material, and a plurality of circumferential slots arranged in the coating of abradable material, the casing further including a circumferential cavity formed in the coating of abradable material, into which cavity the slots open, the slots opening into the cavity and extending between the cavity and an internal surface of the casing. A turbomachine can include such a casing and a blisk.

Claims (14)

1. A casing for a blink of a turbomachine comprising:

an internal coating made of abradable material;

a plurality of circumferential slots arranged in succession in the coating of abradable material, one of the slots being located most upstream;

a circumferential cavity made in the coating of abradable material, in which the slots terminate, the slots terminating in the cavity and extending between the cavity and an internal surface of the casing, such that some of air flow in a vicinity of the internal surface of the casing penetrates inside the cavity via some of the slots and comes out by others of the slots,

wherein the cavity extends into the coating of abradable material by being offset upstream relative to the slot located most upstream on the casing.

2. The casing according to claim 1 , wherein the coating of abradable material has a thickness between 20 and 25 mm, the cavity has in this thickness, a height between 5 and 10 mm.

3. The casing according to claim 1 , wherein a number of slots is between 4 and 8.

4. The casing according to claim 1 , wherein each slot has, in a thickness of the coating of abradable material, a height between 10 and 15 mm.

5. The casing according to claim 1 , wherein each slot has a width between 2 and 6 mm.

6. The casing according to claim 1 , wherein a spacing between two consecutive slots is between 0.5 and 3 mm.

7. The casing according to claim 1 , wherein the slots each extend in a plane forming an angle with a longitudinal axis of the casing between 70° and 110°.

8. A turbomachine, comprising a casing according to claim 1 and a blisk.

9. The turbomachine according to claim 8 , wherein the cavity of the casing is located opposite a radially external end of blades of the blisk by being offset upstream relative to a leading edge of the blades by a distance between 2 and 10 mm.

10. The turbomachine according to claim 8 , wherein the slot located most upstream in the casing is offset upstream relative to the leading edge of the blades by a distance between 1.5 and 3.5 mm.
