Abstract
The rack is made essentially out of thermostructural composite material and comprises a baseplate (12), a partition (14) extending above the baseplate, and a plurality of support arms (20) fixed to the partition and extending substantially horizontally therefrom to their own free ends, so that parts to be treated (A) can be supported in cantilevered-out positions on said arms.
Claims9
A rack for supporting parts to be subjected to heat treatment, said rack comprising:
- a baseplate;
- a partition extending above the baseplate;
- and
- a plurality of support arms fixed to the partition and extending substantially horizontally from the partition to the ends of the arms which are free, the arms being disposed in substantially symmetrical manner relative to the partition, and said baseplate, said partition, and said plurality of support arms being made out of thermostructural composite material;
- thereby enabling parts to be treated to be supported in a cantilevered-out position on said arms, and enabling the parts to be loaded and unloaded in symmetrical manner on both sides of the partition.
