Patent ID: 8695195

Claim:
A process for manufacturing a metal part reinforced with ceramic fibers, said process comprising: machining at least one housing in a metal body having an upper face; placing at least one insert formed from metal-coated ceramic fibers in the housing; covering the insert with a cover, including disposing an element directly on a surface of the insert so as to cover the insert and so that the element projects from the surface of the insert such that a portion of the element extends beyond the upper face of the metal body, and covering the upper face of the metal body and the element with a sheet; creating a vacuum in an interstitial space around the insert, said interstitial space being hermetically scaled; treating the metal body with the cover by hot isostatic pressure to form an assembly; and machining said treated assembly in order to obtain said part, wherein the sheet includes a cavity having a shape corresponding to a shape of the portion of the element that extends beyond the upper face of the metal body.
