Patent ID: 8495810

Claim:
A process for manufacturing a metal part reinforced with ceramic fibers, comprising: a housing for an insert is formed in a main metal body having an upper face; an insert formed from fibers with a metal matrix is positioned in the housing; a metal cover is placed on the main metal body so as to cover the insert; the metal cover is welded to the main metal body under vacuum; an assembly is subjected to a hot isostatic pressing treatment; and the treated assembly is machined to a desired shape, wherein the housing has the shape of a notch of L-shaped cross section with two mutually perpendicular faces, the cover having an internal notch of L-shaped cross section and of shape complementary to that of the notch in the metal body with said insert, and the cover being shaped on the outside so that compressive forces are exerted perpendicular to said faces of the notch.
