Abstract: Method for manufacturing an aluminium alloy part by additive manufacturing comprising a step during which a layer of a mixture of powders is locally melted and then solidified, characterised in that the mixture of powders comprises: first particles comprising at least 80% by mass of aluminium and up to 20% by mass of one or more additional elements, and second yttria-stabilized zirconia particles, the mixture of powders comprising at least 1.5% by volume of second particles.

Abstract: A process for coating a refractory alloy part is provided and includes coating an area of a refractory alloy part by means of a treatment composition including a type of preceramic polymer and a solvent, and heat treating the part coated with the treatment composition. The heat treating partially converts the preceramic polymer and forms a ceramic coating obtained by conversion, the ceramic coating protecting the refractory alloy from oxidation. The treatment composition also includes active fillers to form an alloy coating on a surface of the part by solid diffusion in addition to the ceramic coating obtained by conversion, and the alloy coating generates a protective oxide layer when subjected to oxidizing conditions.

Abstract: A process for coating a part by chemical vapor diffusion is provided and includes placing a powder mixture in a chamber, immersing the part partially in the powder mixture, and applying a heat treatment to the part. The powder mixture includes a first component and a second component forming a gaseous compound during the heat treatment so as to allow deposition of the second component on the part. The part includes a metal refractory allow and the second component forms a solid diffusion alloy by solid diffusion with a metal species of the refractory metal alloy to generate a coating. The solid diffusion allow generates a passivating oxide layer when subjected to oxidizing conditions.

Abstract: This thermoelectric material manufacturing method includes the steps of: preparing a powder from an at least binary thermoelectric alloy (AxB1-x) intended to be used as a matrix; mixing the powder with nanoparticles of pure metal (M) intended to form inclusions in the matrix; and submitting the mixture to a step of sintering at an adapted temperature resulting in the forming, in the matrix, of nanometric inclusions of composition MaAb and/or MaBb.

Abstract: A method for producing a layer of thermoelectric material with a thickness comprised between 50 ?m and 500 ?m on a substrate comprises preparing an ink comprising the thermoelectric material, a solvent and a binding polymer material, depositing a layer of ink on a substrate, heating the layer of ink to evaporate the solvent, compressing the layer and performing heat treatment to eliminate the binding polymer material. Deposition of the layer of ink is performed by pressurized spraying under conditions such that the solvent is partially evaporated before reaching the substrate.
