 >> Belleville washers                                                                    

 >>Sector / key industries: Belleville washers

Materiels : Inconel

Automotive industry

 >> Application: Belleville washers                                             

Problem to be solved: Preload a variable high speed geometry turbocharger, high temperature
   
Constraints: Austere environment, stresses in dynamic, very high temperature variations (thermal cycling from -40°C to +790°C), very small space available, high energy levels.
   
Solution: Study and design of a Belleville type spring washers stacking made in a Nickel base super alloy Inconel type with optimization of the points of stress concentration to guarantee a place in operation without slackening or failure.
   
Borrelly added value: A manufacturing process which enables to increase deflections and loads in elastic deformation range at high temperatures. Qualification in environmental chamber.
