Description

SOLUBLE CORE FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF HOLLOW PARTS MADE OF ORGANIC MATRIX COMPOSITE MATERIAL

This disclosure relates to the manufacture of hollow parts made of organic matrix composite material, in particular turbomachinery, in particular hollow parts made of organic matrix composite (OMC). More specifically, this disclosure relates to a molding core used in the manufacture of OMC parts, a method for manufacturing such a molding core, a method for manufacturing such a hollow OMC part, for example a hollow OMC part, and the part thus obtained.

CMO parts are commonly used in aeronautical engines such as aircraft turbomachines in order to reduce their mass, while guaranteeing the desired mechanical properties, in particular, their stiffness.

These CMO parts are particularly commonly used in the production of fan module parts, for example fan blades or outlet guide vanes (OGVs).

These CMO parts can be obtained by using a fibrous reinforcement made from a three-dimensional weave in which the threads intertwine in a three-dimensional manner (so-called “3D interlock” weave) and which is impregnated in an organic matrix.

The organic matrix can be injected by liquid means using the LCM process (Liquid Composite Molding), for example using the VARTM process (Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding).

Processes such as stamping, thermocompression or additive manufacturing can also be used.

CMOs withstand temperatures ranging from 100°C to 250°C. These materials replace metallic parts in certain parts of turbomachines, particularly for fan blades and/or outlet guide vanes.

Furthermore, their use contributes to optimizing the performance of turbomachines or turbomachine equipment, in particular by reducing the overall mass of the turbomachine, thus reducing fuel consumption which in turn leads to a reduction in harmful emissions (CO, _CO2 , _NOx, etc.).

Climate change is a major concern for many legislative and regulatory bodies around the world. Indeed, various carbon emission restrictions have been, are being, or will be adopted by various states. In particular, an ambitious standard applies to both new aircraft types and those already in operation, requiring the implementation of technological solutions to ensure their compliance with current regulations. Civil aviation has been mobilizing for several years now to contribute to the fight against climate change.

Technological research efforts have already led to significant improvements in the environmental performance of aircraft. Factors impacting all phases of design and development to obtain less energy-intensive, more environmentally friendly aeronautical components and products, whose integration and use in civil aviation have moderate environmental consequences, are taken into account with the aim of improving the energy efficiency of aircraft.

Consequently, reducing negative climate impact is a permanent subject of improvement through the use of methods and the exploitation of virtuous development and manufacturing processes and minimizing greenhouse gas emissions to the minimum possible to reduce the environmental footprint.

This sustained research and development work focuses on new generations of aircraft engines, the weight reduction of aircraft, particularly through the materials used and lighter on-board equipment, the development of the use of electrical technologies to ensure propulsion, and, as an essential complement to technological progress, aeronautical biofuels.

In order to lighten the fan blades and/or the CMO outlet guide vanes, it is known to manufacture hollow blades.

Manufacturing processes that allow parts to be directly produced in the desired shape are particularly advantageous from an industrial point of view. Indeed, they generally allow for a better production rate. Such parts are obtained using molds having the desired shape.

However, not all parts are suitable for such processes. While casting processes have been widely developed and can be used for a wide variety of different materials, the desired part geometry is still often limited.

For example, if the final geometry includes cavities, it is not possible to obtain the part directly by molding.

However, solutions exist for the preparation of parts with cavities, such as the placement of cores in the mold, which are removed or eliminated once the part is obtained.

FR3125238 discloses a core comprising a material that decomposes upon contact with water or humid air. This material is present at the grain boundaries, which allows the core to fragment and therefore be eliminated when the core is exposed to water or humid air.

However, removing the core once the part is finished complicates the molding process or requires the use of special tools. Also, for core removal, it is necessary to create large openings between the cavity and the outside of the part, and some part geometries are not accessible using this technology.

In the case of a soluble core, the core can be dissolved once the desired part is obtained. Cores have thus been proposed and the geometry of the accessible parts is then limited by the constraints in the manufacture of the core.

For the manufacture of cores, the solutions proposed in the prior art all have shortcomings, for example, on the minimum size of the cores that can be obtained or the complexity of the core manufacturing process. Also, the processes for dissolving the core can be complex and/or involve toxic compounds.

There remains a need for improvement in the manufacturing processes of hollow parts using casting processes.

This presentation aims to remedy at least in part these drawbacks, in particular to significantly improve the performance of aircraft and, in this sense, contribute to reducing the environmental impact of aircraft.

To this end, the present disclosure relates to a forming core comprising a body soluble in a liquid and a skin comprising at least one layer of a release agent coating the soluble body.

By way of non-limiting example, the liquid may be an aqueous solution, water or an organic solvent.

The choice of a soluble body which can be dissolved by water makes it possible to have parts whose extraction openings, which allow the elimination of the soluble body, are smaller than for solutions of the prior art, in particular less than 5 millimeters or even less than 4 millimeters.

Furthermore, from an environmental and safety point of view, water is less harmful and reduces risks for operators compared to other liquids, for example a non-aqueous solvent.

By virtue of the skin comprising at least one layer of a release agent which coats the entire soluble body, the forming core is not exposed to liquids and/or humidity during the phases of storage, handling, insertion of the molding core into a fiber preform and/or the step of shaping the preform, this step possibly requiring in particular the humidification of the preform to facilitate its forming. Similarly, the forming core can be used to form an external surface of the fiber preform, the forming core then being arranged between a surface of the mold and an external surface of the fiber preform.

Thus, the forming core does not undergo any degradation before its removal from the part.

Furthermore, when injecting resin into the fiber preform, a forming core that has been exposed to liquids and/or moisture may begin to dissolve in the fiber preform and contaminate the impregnation resin of the fiber preform, which could result in altering the mechanical properties of the resin and therefore of the final part.

It is understood that the soluble body may comprise a material which dissolves upon contact with a liquid, either by complete dissolution of the soluble body or by dissolution of the grain boundaries of the soluble body and fragmentation of the soluble body. The fragments can be easily removed from the cavity formed by the dissolution of the grain boundaries and fragmentation of the soluble body.

In some embodiments, the mold release agent comprises an organic solvent.

The release agent is thus chosen so as not to be a solvent for the soluble core, which dissolves on contact with an inorganic solvent such as water. Furthermore, the release agent is chosen so as to be chemically compatible with the resin injected into the fiber preform, so as not to pollute the resulting composite.

In some embodiments, the skin comprises a first layer of a release agent and at least a second layer of a release agent distinct from the release agent of the first layer.

It is understood that each layer of release agent makes it possible to obtain the aforementioned effects, but these layers may have different compositions and have different and complementary functions. By way of non-limiting example, a first layer of release agent may be a pore-filling agent, and a second layer may be a release agent.

In some embodiments, the soluble body may comprise a soluble thermoplastic polymer.

By way of non-limiting example, the soluble thermoplastic polymer is soluble in a non-aqueous solvent, for example in acetone.

In some embodiments, the soluble body may comprise a material that decomposes upon contact with a liquid.

By way of non-limiting example, the soluble body may decompose upon contact with a liquid, for example an aqueous solution or water.

From an environmental and safety perspective, water is less harmful and reduces risks for operators.

By way of non-limiting example, the soluble body may comprise a composite material comprising on the one hand a first phase of formula M _n+1 AlC _n , where n = 1 to 3, and M being a transition metal chosen from the group consisting of titanium, niobium, chromium or zirconium, the composite material comprising on the other hand a second phase of formula Al ₄ C ₃ .

By way of non-limiting example, the first phase is of one of the formulas Ti ₃ AlC ₂ , Ti ₂ AlC, Cr ₂ AlC, Zr ₂ AlC, Zr ₃ AlC ₂ , Nb ₄ AlC ₃ , or Nb ₂ AlC.

The combination of this first phase with a second phase of formula Al ₄ C ₃ is particularly advantageous. Indeed, aluminum carbide (Al ₄ C ₃ ) is an inorganic compound with a very high melting point (2200°C) and which can easily hydrolyze at room temperature in the presence of a water-rich atmosphere. Thus, the composite material used for the molding core of the present disclosure incorporates this second phase of aluminum carbide into the grain boundaries of the first phase. This makes the composite material particularly reactive to atmospheres containing water. The degradation of the aluminum carbide is accompanied by a variation in volume and a release of gas, capable of fragmenting the grain boundary and propagating cracks in the first initial phase. It is thus possible to propagate the hydrolysis phenomenon over relatively large distances, and thus facilitate fragmentation and debonding of the core. In other words, the composite material forming the core can be initially dense and massive, and be reduced to powder by hydrolysis.

The present disclosure also relates to a method for obtaining a forming core as defined previously comprising the steps of:
- production of the soluble body;
- coating the soluble body with a liquid release agent;
- polymerization of the liquid release agent to obtain the skin comprising at least one layer of the release agent coating the soluble body.

In some embodiments, the step of manufacturing the soluble body may comprise a step of mixing powders, a step of at least partially liquefying the powder mixture, for example by heating the powder mixture, a step of forming the soluble body by casting the at least partially liquefied powder mixture into a mold, a step of solidifying in the mold and a step of demolding the soluble body.

The soluble body once solidified is soluble in a liquid, for example in water.

By way of non-limiting example, the powder mixture may be a mixture of sodium nitrate, potassium nitrate and zirconium silicate.

By way of non-limiting example, the powder mixture may comprise 13.3% by mass of sodium nitrate (NaNO ₃ ), 33.3% by mass of zirconium silicate (SiO ₄ Zr) and 53.4% by mass of potassium nitrate (KNO ₃ ).

In some embodiments, the coating step may be performed by dipping the soluble body into a bath of liquid release agent.

In some embodiments, the coating step may be carried out by applying the liquid release agent to the soluble body, for example by brush or spray.

In some embodiments, the coating step comprises applying to the soluble body a first liquid release agent and at least one second liquid release agent distinct from the first liquid release agent.

In some embodiments, the polymerization comprises heat treating the liquid release agent to form the skin comprising at least one layer of the release agent.

By way of non-limiting example, the release agent may be a pore filler marketed under the reference Frekote B15 ^® or a release agent marketed under the reference Frekote 44NC ^® .

This disclosure also relates to a method for manufacturing a hollow part made of organic matrix composite material comprising the steps:
- obtaining the forming core as defined previously;
- assembly of the forming core as defined previously and a fibrous preform forming a precursor of the hollow part made of ceramic matrix composite material;
- draping the fiber preform and the forming core in a mold;
- mold closing;
- impregnation of the fiber preform with an impregnation resin;
- polymerization of the impregnation resin in the mold to form the organic matrix;
- demolding of the hollow part made of organic matrix composite material and the forming core; and
- elimination of the soluble body.

By way of non-limiting examples, the fibrous preform may comprise glass, carbon, aramid fibers, and/or a mixture of these fibers.

In some embodiments, between the assembly step and the draping step, the fiber preform may be shaped.

Shaping improves the positioning of the fibers in the fiber preform and limits the forces and movements of closing the mold, particularly during the draping stage and the mold closing stage.

In some embodiments, the shaping may be performed on the wet fibrous preform and the shaped fibrous preform is dried prior to the draping step.

By way of non-limiting example, the drying is carried out at a temperature greater than or equal to 100°C and less than or equal to 130°C, for example 120°C.

It is understood that the shaping of the wet fibrous preform is made possible by the skin comprising at least one layer of a mold release agent from the forming core which protects the soluble body from any deterioration.

In some embodiments, during the assembly step, the core may be flush with an outer surface of the fiber preform.

When the hollow part made of organic matrix composite material is demolded, the forming core is accessible on the external face where the forming core is flush. It is possible to tear off the skin having the release agent layer coating the soluble body and dissolve the soluble body.

In some embodiments, the step of removing the soluble body may comprise a step of drilling a soluble body removal channel in the hollow part of organic matrix composite material to reach the soluble body.

In some embodiments, the forming core may include a channel core configured to form a soluble body removal channel in the hollow organic matrix composite material part.

It is understood that, once the part of the soluble body forming the channel core is dissolved, a channel for eliminating the soluble body is formed in the hollow part made of organic matrix composite material.

The soluble body elimination channel allows the soluble body to be dissolved or fragmented by projecting a liquid onto the soluble body.

By way of non-limiting example, the channel may have a diameter greater than or equal to 5 mm and less than or equal to a maximum thickness of the soluble body to be eliminated.

In some embodiments, the step of removing the soluble body may comprise dissolving the soluble body or fragmenting the soluble body with a pressurized jet of liquid, for example, water.

In some embodiments, the water may be heated to a temperature greater than or equal to 40°C and less than or equal to 95°C.

Water heated to a temperature greater than or equal to 40°C and less than or equal to 95°C can allow for faster dissolution of the soluble body.

The present disclosure also relates to a hollow part made of organic matrix composite material comprising a cavity, the cavity being covered with a skin comprising at least one layer of a release agent.

By way of non-limiting example, the hollow part made of organic matrix composite material may be a fan guide vane called OGV in accordance with the English acronym for “Outlet Guide Vane”, a propeller or a FAN blade.

Detailed description

There FIG. 1 represents in section along a vertical plane passing through its main axis A, a double-flow turbojet 10 which is an example of a turbomachine. The double-flow turbojet 10 comprises, from upstream to downstream according to the circulation of the air flow F, a fan 12, a low-pressure compressor 14, a high-pressure compressor 16, a combustion chamber 18, a high-pressure turbine 20, and a low-pressure turbine 22.

The terms “upstream” and “downstream” are defined in relation to the direction of air circulation in the turbomachine, in this case, according to the circulation of the air flow F in the turbojet 10.

The turbojet 10 comprises a fan casing 24 extended towards the rear, that is to say towards the downstream, by an intermediate casing 26, comprising an external shell 28 as well as an internal shell 30 parallel and arranged, in a radial direction R, internally with respect to the external shell 28. The radial direction R is perpendicular to the main axis A.

The terms "external" and "internal" are defined with respect to the radial direction R so that the internal part of an element is, in the radial direction, closer to the principal axis A than the external part of the same element.

The intermediate casing 26 further comprises structural arms 32 distributed circumferentially and extending radially between the inner shell 30 and the outer shell 28. For example, the structural arms 32 are bolted to the outer shell 28 and to the inner shell 30. The structural arms 32 make it possible to stiffen the structure of the intermediate casing 26.

The main axis A is the axis of rotation of the turbojet 10 and the low pressure turbine 22. This main axis A is therefore parallel to the axial direction.

The low pressure turbine 22 comprises a plurality of impellers which form the rotor of the low pressure turbine 22.

In the following, the elements common to the different embodiments are identified by the same numerical references.

There FIG. 2 represents a forming core 50 according to one embodiment. The forming core 50 comprises a soluble body 52 coated with a skin 54 comprising at least one layer of a release agent.

In the following, the elements common to the different embodiments are identified by the same numerical references.

The method 100 for obtaining the forming core 50 comprises a first step 102 of manufacturing the soluble body 52.

As non-limiting examples, the soluble body 52 may be soluble in a liquid; the soluble body 52 may comprise a material that decomposes upon contact with a liquid. The liquid may be an aqueous liquid, for example water, or a non-aqueous solvent.

The obtaining method 100 then comprises a step 104 of coating the soluble body 52 with a liquid release agent 56.

As shown in the FIG. 2 , the coating step 104 can be carried out by dipping the soluble body 52 in a bath comprising the liquid release agent 56.

As shown in the FIG. 3 , the coating step 104 can be carried out by applying the liquid release agent 56 with a brush to the soluble body 52.

As shown in the FIG. 4 , the coating step 104 can be carried out by applying the liquid release agent 56 by spray onto the soluble body 52.

Alternatively, the coating step 104 may comprise the application of a first liquid release agent 56, then the application of a second liquid release agent 56 distinct from the first liquid release agent. The second liquid release agent may for example serve as a pore filler, and the first liquid release agent may serve as the actual release agent. In this case, the resulting skin 54, after polymerization, comprises two layers of release agent.

Alternatively, the coating step 104 may comprise the application of a number of distinct liquid release agents 56 strictly greater than two. In this case, the resulting skin 54, after polymerization, comprises a number of layers of release agent strictly greater than two.

The obtaining method 100 comprises a polymerization step 106 of the liquid release agent 56 to obtain the skin 54 comprising at least one layer of the release agent, as shown in the FIG. 2 .

By way of non-limiting example, when the polymerization of the liquid release agent 56 may comprise the exposure of the soluble body 52 to room temperature for 3 to 4 hours, or the exposure of the soluble body 52 to a temperature between 100 and 150°C for 15 to 30 minutes. The heat treatment and its duration may however vary depending on the liquid release agent(s) chosen.

By way of non-limiting example, the liquid release agent may be an agent marketed under the reference Frekote B15^®, Frekote 700NC^® or Frekote 44NC^®.

The manufacturing method 200 of a hollow part 62 made of organic matrix composite material will be described on the basis of figures 6 to 13.

As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the manufacturing method 200 comprises a first step 100 of obtaining the forming core 50 followed by a step 202 of assembling the forming core 50 and a fiber preform 60. The fiber preform 60 forms a precursor of the hollow part 62 made of organic matrix composite material.

After the polymerization step 212 of the manufacturing method 200 of the hollow body 62 made of organic matrix composite material, the impregnation resin 58 forms the organic matrix 64.

As shown in the FIG. 6 , the manufacturing method 200 then comprises a step 214 of demolding the hollow part 62 made of organic matrix composite material, the forming core 50 being present in the hollow part 62 made of organic matrix composite material.
