ABSTRACT:
A conical coupling of a male member (10) and a female member (11), the male member (10) comprising a cone (12) ensleeved in a truncated conical portion (15) of a corresponding recess (14) formed in the female member (11), is characterized in that the female member (11) is made of a material having a Young's modulus at most equal to about 35 GPa and at most equal to that of the material from which the male member (10) is made, and in that a surface (13) of the male member perpendicular to the axis (A1) of the coupling is in contact with a surface (17) of the female member also perpendicular to the coupling axis such that the male and female members (10, 11) are in axial abutment against each other. The female member (11) is for example of pyrocarbon and the male member (10) of metal, ceramic or pyrocarbon.
