Abstract

A method of manufacturing a cast core with at least one recess, corresponding to a partition of a turbomachine blade, includes the steps of shaping, in a mold, a mixture containing a ceramic particles filler and an organic binder; forming a core rough casting without the recess in the mold; extracting the core rough casting from the mold; machining the recess in the core rough casting thereby forming a machined core with the recess; removing the organic binder from the machined core; and heat treating the machined core to consolidate the machined core. The step of machining the recess is performed before the step of heat treating the machined core.
