  • the ring support structure 3 is for its part made of a metallic material such as a Waspaloy® or inconel 718® or alternatively C263® alloy.
  • the ring sectors 10 are assembled together on an annular tool of the “spider” type comprising, for example, suction cups configured to each hold a ring sector 10.
  • the assembly is carried out by fixing the first flange 33 to the ring support structure 3 by bolted connection, then by putting the omega seal 40 in place in the groove provided for this purpose in the first flask 33 before coming to assemble the second flange 34 to the ring support structure 3.
