The invention relates to a process for manufacturing a part comprising the formation of successive solid metal layers (201 . . . 20n) that are stacked on top of one another, each layer describing a pattern defined using a numerical model (M), each layer being formed by the deposition of a metal (25), referred to as solder, the solder being subjected to an input of energy so as to start to melt and to constitute, by solidifying, said layer, wherein the solder takes the form of a powder (25), the exposure of which to an energy beam (32) results in melting followed by solidification so as to form a solid layer (201 . . . 20n). The invention also relates to a part obtained by this process. The alloy used in the additive manufacturing process according to the invention makes it possible to obtain parts having remarkable features.
A process for manufacturing a part including a formation of successive solid metal layers, which are superimposed on each other, each layer describing a pattern defined using a digital model (M), each layer being formed by depositing a metal, referred to as filler metal, the filler metal being subjected to a supply of energy so as to become molten and to constitute, upon solidifying, said layer, wherein the filler metal takes form of a powder, the exposure of which to an energy beam results in a melting followed by a solidification, so as to form a solid layer,
A powder comprising, optionally consisting of, an aluminum alloy comprising:
