Abstract

See full text

A method for producing a metal reinforcement for protecting a leading edge of a compressor blade of composite, including: creating a core that has a shape of an internal cavity of the reinforcement; creating an insert made of an alloy of a hardness greater than that of the reinforcement; shaping sheet metal by stamping with the creation, upstream of the core, a cavity between the metal sheets, which cavity is configured to accept the insert, positioning the sheets around the core with the insert placed in the cavity and securing the assembly together; creating a vacuum and closing the assembly by welding; consolidation by hot isostatic pressing; cutting the assembly to extract the core and separate the reinforcement; creating an external profile of the reinforcement by a final machining operation that reveals a material of the insert.
