  • the screw 19 comprises a screw head 190 whose diameter is greater to the diameter of an orifice 39 made in the central shroud 31 of the support structure of the ring 3 through which the screw 19 is inserted before being screwed to the fixing piece 20.
  • the radial connection of the ring sector 10 with the ring support structure 3 is carried out using the screw 19, the head 190 of which rests on the central crown 31 of the ring support structure. 3, and of the fixing part 20 screwed to the screw 19 and fixed to the axial attachment lug 17' of the ring sector 10, the screw head 190 and the fixing part 20 exerting forces in opposite directions to hold ring 1 and ring support structure 3 together.
  • the radial retention of the ring downwards can be ensured using four radial pins plated on the axial hooking lug 17 ', and the radial retention upwards of the ring can be ensured by a pick head, integral with the screw 19, placed under the ring in the cavity between the axial hooking lug 17' and the external face 12b of the annular base.
  • Each ring sector 10 described above is made of ceramic matrix composite material (CMC) by forming a fibrous preform having a shape close to that of the ring sector and densification of the ring sector by a ceramic matrix .
  • CMC ceramic matrix composite material
  • ceramic fiber yarns for example SiC fiber yarns such as those marketed by the Japanese company Nippon Carbon under the name "Hi-NicalonS", or carbon fiber yarns .
  • the fibrous preform is advantageously produced by three-dimensional weaving, or multilayer weaving with development of unbinding zones making it possible to separate the parts of the preforms corresponding to the hooking tabs 14 and 16 of the sectors 10.
  • the weaving may be of the interlock type, as shown.
  • Other three-dimensional or multi-layer weaving weaves can be used, such as multi-linen or multi-satin weaves. You can refer to the document WO 2006/136755 .
  • the blank can be shaped to obtain a ring sector preform which is consolidated and densified by a ceramic matrix, the densification being able to be carried out in particular by gas phase chemical infiltration (CVI) which is well known in self.
  • CVI gas phase chemical infiltration
  • the textile preform can be slightly hardened by CVI so that it is rigid enough to be handled, before bringing liquid silicon up by capillarity in the textile to carry out the densification (“Melt Infiltration”).
  • the ring support structure 3 is for its part made of a metallic material such as a Waspaloy® or Inconel 718 or even 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 ring 1 is then mounted on the ring support structure 3 by inserting each second pin 20 into each of the orifices 180 of the second lugs 18 of the downstream radial attachment flanges 16 of each ring sector 10 making up the ring 1.
  • All the first pins 19 are then placed in the orifices 170 provided in the first lugs 17 of the radial attachment lug 14 of the ring 1.
  • first annular flange 33 and the second annular flange 34 are fixed to the ring support structure 3 and to the ring 1.
  • the first and second annular flanges 33 and 34 are fixed by shrink fitting to the support structure d ring 3.
  • the force DHP exerted in the direction of the flow F reinforces this attachment during engine operation.
  • the first annular flange 33 is fixed to the ring by inserting each first pin 19 into each of the orifices 170 of the first lugs 17 of the upstream radial attachment lugs 14 of each ring sector 10 composing ring 1.
  • the ring 1 is thus held in position axially by means of the first annular flange 33 and the second annular radial flange 36 resting respectively upstream and downstream on the rectilinear bearing surfaces 110 of the radial hooking lugs respectively upstream 14 and downstream 16.
  • an axial prestress can be applied to the first annular flange 33 and to the upstream radial hooking lug 14 to overcome the effect of differential expansion between the material CMC of the ring 1 and the metal of the ring support structure 3.
  • the first annular flange 33 is held in axial stress by mechanical elements placed upstream as shown in dotted lines on the picture 3 .
  • the ring 1 is held in position radially using the first and second pins 19 and 20 cooperating with the first and second lugs 17 and 18 and the orifices 3340 and 3650 of the first annular flange 33 and the annular radial flange 36.
  • the invention thus provides a turbine ring assembly allowing each ring sector to be maintained in a deterministic manner while allowing, on the one hand, the ring sector, and by extension to the ring, to deform under the effects of temperature rises and pressure variations, and this in particular independently of the metal parts at the interface, and, on the other hand, while improving sealing and simplifying manipulations and reducing their number for the assembly of the ring assembly.
