A process for manufacturing a part comprising a formation of successive metal layers, superimposed on one another, wherein each layer is formed by the deposition of a filler metal, the filler metal being subjected to an input of energy so as to melt and to constitute said layer by solidifying, the process being characterized in that the filler metal is an aluminium alloy comprising the following alloy elements (% by weight): —Fe: 2% to 8%, and preferably 2% to 6%, more preferentially 3% to 5%; —optionally Zr: 0.5% to 2.5% or 0.5% to 2% or 0.7% to 1.5%; —optionally Si: <1%, or even <0.5% or even <0.2% or even <0.05%; —optionally Cu: ≤0.5%, or even <0.2%, or even <0.05%; —optionally Mg: ≤0.2%, preferably ≤0.1%, preferably <0.05%; —optionally other alloy elements<0.1% individually and in total<0.5%; —impurities: <0.05%, or even <0.01% individually, and in total<0.15%; remainder aluminium.
A process for manufacturing a part including a formation of successive metal layers, which are superimposed on each other, each layer being formed by depositing a filler metal, the filler metal being subjected to a supply of energy so as to become molten and to constitute, upon solidifying, said layer, the process being wherein the filler metal is an aluminum alloy consisting of the following alloy elements (% by weight);
