Abstract

The invention relates to a turbomachine thermomechanical part forming a body of revolution about a longitudinal axis, and including at least one abradable ring for a labyrinth seal. In characteristic manner, the abradable ring is made up of angular sectors that present different stiffnesses between adjacent pairs of sectors. The invention is applicable to a compressor, a turbine, or to a rotor and stator assembly.
