Abstract
A compressor housing resistant to a titanium fire (burning titanium). A mixed housing is constructed, in which a structure holding stator blades includes a single-cast part made from titanium or titanium alloy, and at least one element forming a shield made from refractory alloy(s), and which is incombustible in presence of burning titanium, where each shield is secured to the single-cast part by fasteners. The fasteners are positioned with each shield so as to define jointly an inner wall demarcating an outer contour of the compressor airstream.

1-16. (canceled)
A housing comprising:
- at least one part including a structure holding rows of stator blades and an inner wall demarcating an outer contour of a compressor airstream in which are assembled rows of rotating rotor blades individually sandwiched between the rows of stator or variable pitch blades;
- and
- means for thermal protection against burning titanium that includes over at least one part of its length, as a load-bearing structure, a single-cast part made from titanium or titanium alloy and, as means of thermal protection, at least one element forming a shield made from refractory alloy(s) and incombustible in presence of burning titanium, wherein each shield is secured to the single-cast part by fasteners,
- wherein the fasteners are positioned with each shield so as to define together the inner wall demarcating the outer contour of the compressor airstream.
