Abstract
A mould for manufacturing a turbomachine fan casing made of a composite material with fibrous reinforcement that is densified by a matrix, includes an impregnation mandrel around which a fibrous preform is to be wound and angular counter-mould sectors assembled around the external contour of the impregnation mandrel, which are intended to close the mould. The impregnation mandrel includes a main body with an annular shape, and an annular barrel which is arranged around the main body and around which the fibrous preform is to be wound, the barrel and the angular sectors defining a moulding cavity intended to receive the fibrous preform. The main body and the angular sectors are made of a first material having a first thermal expansion coefficient, the barrel being made of a second material that has a second thermal expansion coefficient, the second thermal expansion coefficient being greater than the first thermal expansion coefficient.
