Abstract
A method of assembling parts of an aircraft engine, the method includes: forming, at a first temperature, a pre-assembly of a first part of the aircraft engine and a second part of the aircraft engine by aligning the first part and the second part such as to be engageable within one another, the second part having a coefficient of thermal expansion that is greater than a coefficient of thermal expansion of the first part; heating the pre-assembly to a second temperature greater than the first temperature to expand the second part relative to the first part; and compressing the pre-assembly until the first part is inserted into the second part to create a contact interface between the first part and the second part.
