Abstract: The invention relates to a process for manufacturing a turbomachine blade, wherein: —a part (4) is manufactured comprising a foot (4), a heel (6) and an air stream zone (10) extending between the foot and the heel, the air stream zone comprising at least one protuberance (20, 24, 26) projecting from a main face (12) of the zone, the manufacturing being performed by injecting a mixture comprising a binder and a powder, the powder comprising at least a metal or a ceramic: —debinding is performed on the part so as to eliminate a greater quantity of the binder from the part: —heat treatment is performed on the part; and—the or each protuberance is eliminated from the air stream zone.

Abstract: A method for heat treating a powder part preform including a titanium-based alloy, wherein the method includes the heat treatment of the preform in a furnace at a predetermined temperature, wherein the preform is on a holder during the heat treatment, wherein the holder includes a zirconium-based alloy having a zirconium content greater than or equal to 95% by weight, wherein the holder material has a melting temperature higher than the predefined temperature of the heat treatment, and wherein an anti-diffusion barrier is arranged between the preform and the holder in order to prevent welding of the preform to the holder.
