Patent attributes
The invention provides a method of fabricating a turbine stator casing, the method comprising the operations consisting in: between the walls of portions of a mold, forming a cavity of shape corresponding to the shape of the shroud of said casing, securing soluble cores to at least one of said mold portions, said cores being held at a distance from the wall of said mold portion and representing empty spaces that are to be formed inside said shroud; putting soluble inserts into place between the cores to represent flow paths between said empty spaces; filling said cavity with a metal alloy powder; sintering said powder by hot isostatic pressing; eliminating the cores and the inserts by dissolving them; and extracting the shroud as molded in this way. The invention is applicable to fabricating a turbine stator casing for an airplane turbojet.
