Sorry, back again with my turbine servicing queries...
This term was used in my previous question and also here:
Façonnage de la bride d'accouplement à la zone du front aussi que les points de repère avant et arrière.
I had thought it meant "cut to size", but now I'm wondering whether that's too specific and it actually just means "shaped" or "formed". Does anyone have any knowledge of this sort of procedure?
Many thanks yet again.

It is the process that comes first,

Bourth (X)
: Possibly the best bet, irrespective of the method used (though I'd skip "process" and "shaft" pending further info).

Comment: "Thanks Lucie (and Alex) - I've stuck with forming in the end; they sometimes use "faconnage a la machine", which I've translated simply as "machining", so I've left this as basic as possible. Thanks to everyone else too.."

Bourth (X)
: Normally I'd agree, but I wonder if the term is used here to mean "machining" (depending on what this flange is part of), possibly to mate with the other part.
