Decorative part made by inlaying

A method for manufacturing a part comprising a support provided with at least one hollow filled with an aesthetic element forming a decoration on a face of the part configured to be visible, said method comprising:

• providing the support provided with said at least one hollow and providing a preform configured to form the aesthetic element of the part, said at least one hollow opens out in at least one place on a face of the part configured to be non-visible;
• inlaying by pressing the preform into said at least one hollow of the support;
• mechanical grinding following the inlaying;
• and
• electrochemical surface treating the aesthetic element following the mechanical grinding,
• wherein the preform is made of a crystalline aluminium alloy, and
• wherein the inlaying is carried out at a temperature between the solidus temperature and the liquidus temperature of the crystalline aluminium alloy, and
• wherein, after the mechanical grinding, said at least one hollow includes several orifices that open out at several places on the face of the part configured to be non-visible, to respectively form more than one contact point for the aesthetic element to supply current across the aesthetic element during the surface treatment,
• wherein, after the mechanical grinding, said decoration extends continuously in contact with the face between the several orifices.
