Abstract
A method for producing a part. This part including a surface portion whereon is positioned an element to be assembled via an adhesive on the surface portion. The method includes the steps of: mounting a sleeve of heat-shrinkable material around at least one portion of the element on the part, heating of the sleeve in order to shrink it and thus to apply an application force of the element on the surface portion, hardening of the adhesive, and removing the sleeve.
Claims17
A method for producing a part, this part comprising a surface portion,
- the method comprises the following steps of:
- assembling an element on said surface portion of the part via a film of adhesive material, so that the film of adhesive material is arranged between the surface portion and the element,
- mounting a sleeve of heat-shrinkable material around at least one portion of said element on the part,
- heating said sleeve in order to shrink it and thus to apply an application force of said element on said surface portion,
- hardening of the film of adhesive material, and
- removal of said sleeve,
- wherein before mounting the sleeve, a layer of deformable material is placed on the element so that the layer of deformable material is arranged between the sleeve and the element, and after the removal of the sleeve, the layer of deformable material is removed.
