Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of electric motors and more particularly relates to the field of electric motor rotors for aeronautical applications.
- the preferred ways are to reduce the mass of the electric motors of generation and/or starting or electric propulsion if we are in the field of "VTOL" (Vertical Take Off and Landing, which means vertical take-off and landing)" or “STOL” (Short Take Off and Landing, which means take-off and landing short).
- VTOL Vertical Take Off and Landing, which means vertical take-off and landing
- STOL Short Take Off and Landing, which means take-off and landing short.
- the mass of these systems can reach several tens of kilograms for powers that can go beyond a hundred kilowatts. Current limitations on electric machines hardly exceed a power/mass ratio of 3.5 kW/kg.
- the first performance limitation is essentially due to the electromagnetic circuit itself, which is governed by the quality of the ferromagnetic materials used or even the quality of the magnets (remanent induction Br) when these machines include them.
- the second limitation is the mechanical limitation in the rotation speed of the machines. This speed limitation depends on the nature of the electrical machine. We distinguish three main families of electric machines (ie electric motors): direct current machines, synchronous machines and asynchronous machines.
- machines (d) are rotor mounted permanent magnet synchronous machines and machines (e) are solid rotor induction asynchronous machines.
- the machine can contain high-energy debris originating from rotating parts of the rotor of the machine (i.e. the machine must continue to operate despite the breakage and the presence within it of parts of the rotor). Moreover, in many other cases of failure, it is necessary that the electrical machine continues to operate.
- DC machines are the machines most used in the aeronautical industry. Their main advantage is to operate on direct current networks without the mandatory use of power electronics. Their main disadvantage is to include brushes energizing the rotor which causes a premature wear of the latter and imposes limitations in terms of rotation speed (max speed ⁇ 20,000 rpm).
- Wound-rotor synchronous machines are machines which have the main advantage of being very easily controllable in terms of torque and speed. Indeed, it is possible to manage the flux of the machine very easily by injecting a direct current into the inductor of the machine (rotor part) using conductive rings linking the stator and the rotor. These machines have a similar drawback to DC machines which is a maximum rotor speed relative to the stator of around 25,000 rpm. This speed limitation is due to the presence of conductive rings rubbing on the rotor.
- 3-stage synchronous machine these machines are very widely used in the aeronautical world as current generators because they have the advantage of being easily controllable and self-excitable without brushes or ring thanks to the rotation of magnets in front of the rotor winding of the machine, the alternating current thus created is then rectified by rotating diodes going as far as the field winding of the machine.
- the disadvantages of these machines are their relatively large masses due to the fact that they comprise several conversion stages and also a limitation of the rotation speed ( ⁇ 25,000 rpm) which comes to weaken the rotating diodes when the speed becomes too high. important.
- permanent magnet machines are one of the most efficient categories of machines in terms of torque density, it is moreover for their excellent performance that these machines emerge in aeronautical electrical systems.
- Their advantage which is also their main drawback, is that these machines have magnets in the rotor, which has the main advantage that these machines do not have brushes and are self-excited due to the rotation of the magnets.
- the short-circuit is self-sustaining due to the rotation of the magnets which generates this short-circuit. It is therefore necessary to be able to stop the rotation of the rotor so that the fault does not propagate.
- Another disadvantage of this machine is that, when very high rotational speeds (above 30,000 rpm) must be reached, the machine must include surface magnets whose thickness becomes non-negligible compared to the magnetic air gap which generates a significant increase in magnetic losses.
- the synchronous reluctance machine is a machine with strong electromagnetic performance
- another advantage is that the rotor is magnetically passive in nature, so in the event of a problem with the stator windings, the machine is de-energized by de-energizing the stator.
- the main drawback of this machine for use in an aeronautical environment is that this machine imposes a very small air gap ( ⁇ 0.5 mm) hence an increased complexity for the integration of this machine in a fairly severe vibratory environment.
- the squirrel cage asynchronous machine is a machine with lower electromagnetic performance compared to synchronous machines due to the fact that the induction of rotor currents generated by the stator currents tend to heat the rotor .
- the concept of sliding is also to be considered in this machine.
- the slip is the difference between the pulsation of the currents created in the rotor and the pulsation of the stator currents. This slip is a fundamental notion because the greater the slip (and tends towards 1), the more torque the machine provides.
- the fundamental problem of this principle is that the Joule effect created in the rotor part of the machine is directly proportional to the slip.
- asynchronous machine with massive rotor To solve this problem of electromagnetic performance limitation, new topologies of asynchronous machines have recently appeared for ten years called asynchronous machine with massive rotor.
- the notion of a massive rotor comes from the fact that the rotor, which can be multi-material, is very compact and resistant to much greater mechanical stress than squirrel-cage asynchronous machines.
- the objective of the present invention is to propose a new asynchronous machine rotor topology exhibiting better performance at high speed (i.e. speeds greater than 30,000 rpm).
- the invention relates to an aircraft electric motor rotor comprising a shaft made of a first material and a conductor assembly made of a second material different from the first material, in which the shaft has a shoulder portion having at least one longitudinal notch and the conductive assembly is a one-piece structure comprising at least one conductive bar intended to be positioned in the at least one notch and comprising a skin intended to be fixed on the shoulder portion.
- the rotor may have an interpenetration layer of the first material and of the second material, the interpenetration layer comprising an alloy of the first material and of the second material.
- the conductor assembly may include two rings, a first ring being attached to the rotor at a first end region of the shoulder portion and a second ring being attached to the rotor at a second end region of the shoulder portion .
- the rotor may comprise a plurality of notches tangentially distributed and/or radially superimposed in the shoulder.
- the plurality of notches may comprise two contiguous radially superimposed notches in the shoulder, an opening connecting said two contiguous notches.
- the first material may contain at least iron and carbon.
- the second material may contain at least one of the metals chosen from among copper, aluminum or silver.
- the invention relates to a method for manufacturing a rotor according to the first aspect comprising at least one of the steps of:
- the step of inserting the shaft and an element intended to form the conductor assembly into a protective tubular casing comprises a phase of positioning, around the shaft, a powder intended to form the assembly driver.
- the step of heating and pressurizing the assembly can be carried out in a dedicated enclosure and in a neutral atmosphere.
- the heat treatment step may include quenching selected from natural or forced convection gas quenching, water quenching or oil quenching.
- the first material may contain at least iron and carbon, and the heat treatment step may be carried out until the first material becomes martensitic.
- the method may include a prior step of machining the shaft.
- the step of machining the shaft may include at least one phase of machining at least one notch.

- a hot isostatic pressing (CIC) method may include a step of degreasing and stripping the surfaces of the elements to be assembled, a step of bringing the degreased and stripped surfaces of the elements to be assembled into direct contact, and a step of assembly by diffusion welding of the surfaces of the elements in contact.
- the step of degreasing and pickling the surfaces of the elements to be assembled can consist of conventional treatments for degreasing and pickling metal surfaces.
- the purpose of this step is to obtain clean, degreased and oxidation-free surfaces.
- the degreasing of these surfaces can for example be carried out using a solvent or a conventional detergent for degreasing metals.
- Pickling can be a chemical or mechanical pickling, it can for example be carried out by means of an acid or basic solution, or by rectification or polishing.
- the stripping technique can be chemical stripping followed by rinsing with water during which the surface of the materials is rubbed with the aid of an abrasive pad based, for example, on fibers of alumina. This treatment can be repeated several times, the last rinsing being able to be carried out with demineralised water.
- the degreasing solvent can be an organic solvent, for example of the ketone, ether, alcohol, alkane or chlorinated alkene type such as trichloroethylene, or a mixture of these. here, etc.
- a preferred solvent is a mixture of equal proportions of ethyl alcohol, ether and acetone.
- Another preferred solvent is trichlorethylene.
- Chemical pickling can be carried out with an acid solution, for example a 10% hydrofluoric acid bath or a mixture comprising 1 to 5% hydrofluoric acid with 30 to 40% nitric acid.
- the pickling time can be for example from 10 seconds to 5 minutes, for example from 20 to 30 seconds, at a temperature of 15°C, for example 20°C.
- the pickled surfaces can then be rinsed in one or more successive baths, for example of demineralised water.
- the next step is a step of bringing the degreased and pickled surfaces of the elements into direct contact.
- This bringing into contact corresponds to placing or positioning the elements to be assembled surface against surface, according to a desired stack.
- this contacting is carried out within a period of less than one hour following the step of degreasing and stripping the surfaces to be assembled, so as to limit the risks of oxidation, except in the case where special precautions have been taken.
- these precautions possibly consisting, for example, in keeping the elements in a clean and non-oxidizing atmosphere such as nitrogen by means of bagging them in sealed bags.
- the step which follows the bringing into contact of the surfaces of the elements to be assembled is a step of assembly by diffusion welding of the surfaces brought into direct contact. Diffusion welding can be carried out, for example, by isostatic compression or by hot uniaxial pressing, for example, by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art.
- the materials brought into contact can be introduced into an envelope which makes it possible to isolate the elements to be assembled from the atmosphere and to evacuate the air from the envelope for the assembly of the elements by diffusion welding therein.
- the casing 30 can be made of any impermeable material, strong enough to withstand an at least partial vacuum therein, and to withstand the high temperatures and pressures necessary to assemble the elements.
- the casing can be a metal casing, for example made of stainless steel, mild steel or titanium and its alloys. It can for example be formed from a sheet having a thickness for example of 1 to 20 mm approximately, for example of 1 to 10 mm approximately.
- the envelope can match the external shape of the elements to be assembled.
- the martensitic stainless steel element (the shaft 2) can close the casing 30 by playing the role of cover of the casing 30, the shaft 2 then being able to be welded to the casing 30
- this casing 30 can be produced by cutting, optionally bending and welding a metal sheet or by any method known to those skilled in the art.
- the envelope 30 is then degassed so as to create a vacuum therein.
- the degassing can be carried out by means of a vacuum pump and heating of the elements to be assembled/envelope assembly.
- An example of degassing may consist in evacuating the air from the casing 30 at ambient temperature until a residual vacuum of less than or equal to 10 Pa is obtained, then in heating the assembly to a moderate temperature, for example lower at 300°C for a few hours, for example 5 hours, while continuing to evacuate.
- the casing 30 is made completely sealed by closing the opening which served for its evacuation, the closing being carried out for example using TIG welding.
- the elements brought into contact in the degassed envelope can then be assembled by diffusion welding.
- the assembly can be carried out in a hot isostatic compression chamber.
- the heating step includes a phase of pressurizing the assembly 32.

- the heating chamber of the oven used is saturated with an inert gas (i.e. a rare gas according to the periodic table of the elements).
- the neutral gas used may be argon.
- the atmosphere of the heating enclosure can be saturated with nitrogen.
- One of the objectives of the saturation of the heating enclosure with argon or nitrogen is to drive out the oxygen to avoid a potential oxidation reaction.
- the heating step is carried out by bringing the assembly 32 to a temperature allowing welding by diffusion but lower than a temperature of liquefaction of the copper (and consequently of the steel).
- the maximum heating temperature can be between 900° C. and 1040° C. to carry out the solution treatment of the steel.
- the heating step is carried out gradually over several hours. In a particularly preferred manner, the heating step lasts about ten hours.
- the heat treatment step may comprise quenching selected from open air quenching, water quenching or oil quenching.
- the hardening can be homogeneous for the whole of the assembly 32 or can be monitored via in-situ measurements.
- the quenching heat treatment step is determined so that the steel of the shaft 2 becomes martensitic. More specifically, the heat treatment step removes any presence of residual austenite in the steel of shaft 2.
- quenching must correspond to a cooling rate greater than the critical rate to create the martensitic phase, i.e. several tens of degrees/second (°/s).
- the objective of quenching is to reach at least the zone indicated V2 in figure 12 and at best the zone indicated V1.
- the quenching step is very advantageous to improve the electromagnetic properties as shown in Figure 13 which shows that the cooling rate has a direct impact on the electromagnetic properties of the material.
- the magnetic hysteresis H1 corresponds to a material quenched in water
- the magnetic hysteresis H2 corresponds to quenching in air.
- the cryogenic bath can be at a temperature below -20° C.
- the assembly 32 is immersed in the cryogenic bath for a period that can be between 10 minutes and 60 minutes.
- the tempering step makes it possible to recover the characteristics sought for the copper constituting the conductor assembly 4 (mechanical resistance, electrical conductivity, etc.), and makes it possible to soften the martensitic steel to increase its ductility while preserving its electromagnetic properties, which makes it possible to optimize the overall performance of the rotor 1.
- tempering step is a known step in the field of metallurgy. In a usual way, income can also be called “ageing”.
- tempering is carried out by bringing assembly 32 to a plateau temperature of between 450° C. and 650° C., over a period of between 1 hour and 4 hours.
- This optimized treatment makes it possible to guarantee for the copper alloy a conductivity equal to or greater than 90% of the conductivity of pure copper (%I ⁇ CS) and ensures that the desired mechanical properties are maintained.
- Separation of casing 30 and rotor 1 is achieved by machining casing 30 to retain only rotor 1 .
- the envelope 30 is extracted by machining, typically by turning.
- the rotor 1 obtained then has rough dimensions, as shown in figure 10.
- the rotor 1, and more particularly its conductor assembly 4 is machined to have the final dimensions and geometries.
- the rotor 1 obtained has the geometric characteristics necessary for its use, and also has structural and electromagnetic characteristics guaranteeing its resistance when used at speeds of rotation greater than 50,000 rpm.
- the bonding zone by interdiffusion on the part obtained according to the process typically has a thickness of a few tens of ⁇ m.
- the rotor 1 having a structure of the monolithic type can easily be statically and dynamically balanced (by localized removal of material), which makes it possible to guarantee the lowest possible vibration level compatible with a high speed of rotation of the rotor 1 .
