Abstract
The invention relates to a method for fire protection (S) of a part (1) of a gas-turbine engine made of a composite material comprising a main fibrous reinforcement compregnated by a main matrix, the protection method (S) comprising the following steps: preforming (S1) a panel of prepreg (20) such as to grant same a shape corresponding to the shape of a surface (3) of the part (1) to be protected against fire, said panel of prepreg (20) comprising a secondary fibrous reinforcement compregnated by a secondary matrix; applying (S2) the panel of prepreg (20) thus preformed to the part (1); and securing (S3) the panel of prepreg (20) to the surface (3) by thermal treatment of the part (1) provided with said panel of prepreg (20) in order to obtain a fire-protection layer (2).
