Abstract

An assembly includes a first part and a second part separate from the first part, the first and second parts being intended to be in frictional contact, the first part being made of an organic matrix composite material that has, on its surface, an abrasion-resistant area including a resin that contains polytetrafluoroethylene particles, the polytetrafluoroethylene particles being only present at the surface of the first part, and the second part being made of an organic matrix composite material and being in contact with the abrasion-resistant area of the first part.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An assembly comprising a first part and a second part separate from the first part, the first and second parts being intended to be in frictional contact, the first part being made of an organic matrix composite material that has, on a surface of said first part, an abrasion-resistant area comprising a resin that contains polytetrafluoroethylene particles, the polytetrafluoroethylene particles being only present at the surface of the first part, and the second part being made of an organic matrix composite material and being in contact with the abrasion-resistant area of the first part.

2. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the first part has a mass content of polytetrafluoroethylene particles in the abrasion-resistant area between 5% and 65%.

3. The assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the first part has a mass content of polytetrafluoroethylene particles in the abrasion-resistant area between 10% and 60%.

4. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the first part has a median size of polytetrafluoroethylene particles between 0.1 μm and 50 μm.

5. The assembly according to claim 4 , wherein the first part has a median size of polytetrafluoroethylene particles between 0.5 μm and 50 μm.

6. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the first part is a turbomachine part.

7. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the second part has, on a surface of said second part, a second abrasion-resistant area comprising a second resin that contains second polytetrafluoroethylene particles, the abrasion-resistant area of the first part being in contact with the second abrasion-resistant area.

8. A turbomachine comprising an assembly according to claim 1 .

9. A method for manufacturing an assembly according to claim 1 , comprising:
forming, on a surface of a substrate made of organic matrix composite material, a layer comprising the resin in the fluid state and the polytetrafluoroethylene particles,
curing the resin in the fluid state on the substrate to form the abrasion-resistant area and to obtain the first part made of composite material, and
placing the abrasion-resistant area of the first part, obtained in this way, in contact with the second part.

10. A method for manufacturing an assembly according to claim 1 , comprising:
forming, on a surface of a fibrous structure pre-impregnated with a fluid matrix composition, a layer comprising the resin in the fluid state that contains the polytetrafluoroethylene particles, and
jointly curing the resin in the fluid state and the fluid matrix composition in order to form the abrasion-resistant area and to obtain the first part made of composite material, and
placing the abrasion-resistant area of the first part, obtained in this way, in contact with the second part.

11. A method for manufacturing an assembly according to claim 1 , comprising:
forming, on a surface of a fibrous structure, a layer comprising the resin in the fluid state that contains the polytetrafluoroethylene particles,
introducing a fluid matrix composition into pores of said fibrous structure,
jointly curing the resin in the fluid state and the introduced fluid matrix composition in order to form the abrasion-resistant area and to obtain the first part made of composite material, and
placing the abrasion-resistant area of the first part, obtained in this way, in contact with the second part.
