Abstract

The coating of abradable material presents cavities opening out into the surface of the coating, the cavities extending over a fraction of the thickness of the coating and being defined by walls which form a plurality of continuous paths at the inside surface of the annular portion between the axial end faces thereof, and which form an angle of not less than 5° relative to the general direction of end portions of blades that might come into contact with the abradable material.
