    [0001] TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE PREPARATION OF A PIECE BY SELECTIVE FUSION OF TECHNICAL FIELD The present disclosure relates to a method of manufacturing a part by selective melting of powder. BACKGROUND Methods for manufacturing parts by selective melting of powder are already known. These methods consist in making a part by superposition of layers of powder, these layers being deposited and melted locally one after the other by means of a laser beam or an electron beam passing over the surface of each layer. The path of the beam on each layer is determined by a system in which the three-dimensional coordinates of the points of the successive layers to be produced have been recorded. These processes are known under the English names "direct metal laser sintering", "selective laser melting", "laser beam melting" or "electron beam melting".
    [0002] Known examples of such processes are described in WO2012160291A1, WO2013060981A2 and FR2982182A1. In these processes, the melting of the powder of each of the layers requires a very high beam energy and requires a certain time corresponding to the time of travel of the beam on the layer. The cost of manufacturing a part according to these processes is therefore relatively high, particularly because of the energy consumption associated with the production of a high energy beam. In addition, the manufacturing time is relatively long due in particular to the high number of passes of the beam. There is therefore a need for a new type of process.
    [0003] GENERAL PRESENTATION The present disclosure relates to a process for manufacturing a part by selective melting of powder, in which: a first layer of a first powder is deposited, the main element being a main element; - depositing on the first layer a second layer of a second powder having as a main element a second element, different from the first element; a first energy beam, for example a laser beam or an electron beam, is displaced on the second layer, the energy supplied by the first beam making it possible to initiate an exothermic reaction between the first element and the second element, energy released by this exothermic reaction for melting together, locally, the first and second layers.
    [0004] According to this method, the energy required for local melting (or selective melting) of the second layer is provided by the triggered exothermic reaction. Therefore, the energy provided by the first beam may be chosen less than the energy required for the local melting of the second layer, while remaining sufficient to initiate said exothermic reaction.
    [0005] The energy delivered by the first beam to a certain area of the second layer depends on the power of the beam and its speed of passage over this area. Decreasing the required energy thus makes it possible to reduce the power of the beam and / or to increase the speed of passage of the beam. The method thus makes it possible to reduce the energy consumption related to the production of the beam, by reducing the power of the beam, and / or to increase the speed of passage of the beam over the second layer. This results in a reduction in manufacturing costs and / or an increase in the production rate of the part. In addition, since the energy required for the local melting of the first layer is also provided by the triggered exothermic reaction, it is possible not to pass an energy beam on this first layer. This also makes it possible to reduce the production costs, by reducing the energy consumption, and / or to increase the production rate by reducing the total number of passes of the beam. In particular, this number of passes can be halved compared to conventional methods. In some embodiments, a second energy beam is displaced on the first layer before depositing the second layer, the energy provided by the second beam allowing the first layer to be superficially and locally melted. Such a superficial melting makes it possible, in particular, to consolidate the first layer to facilitate the deposition of the second layer thereon. This is to melt only the powder on the surface of the first layer and not to melt the powder throughout the thickness of the first layer. The energy provided by the second beam may therefore be chosen to be less than the energy required for total local melting of the first layer, while remaining sufficient to cause a local superficial melting. In this case, compared with conventional processes, the energy consumption is lower and / or the rate of production is higher.
    [0006] Such a method finds particular application in the manufacture of metal parts. By "metal" part is meant a piece of metal, metal alloy or cermet. It may be metal parts subjected to high temperatures in operation and, in particular, metal parts refractory alloy. Indeed, these parts are difficult to manufacture correctly by foundry or casting processes: there are problems of chemical interaction with the molds, affinity of the constituent elements of the alloy cast with oxygen, speed of too much solidification, etc., which often lead to an off-equilibrium alloy, having a disordered microstructure and significant metallurgical defects (shrinkage, segregation, cracking, etc.). The proposed manufacturing method allows, on the contrary, to obtain homogeneous parts in microstructure and composition, of good metallurgical quality and / or having good toughness at room temperature. In particular, such a method can be used to manufacture a turbomachine part. Without being limiting, the part under consideration may be a high or low pressure turbine part of an aircraft turbojet engine. For example, it may be a turbine blade. In addition to the characteristics that have just been mentioned above, the method may have one or more of the following characteristics, considered individually or in technically possible combinations: the first powder is metallic, the second powder is metallic, the first element , ie the main element, or majority, of the first powder, is chosen from the following elements: Nb, Mo, V, Ta, Cr, Fe, Co, Ni, the first element is Nb or Mo and, in particular the first powder is a powder of an alloy containing mainly Nb or Mo elements associated with other transition metals, the first powder is a metal alloy powder comprising additive elements chosen from the following elements: If, Ti, Cr, Al, Hf, Mo, Sn, B, the second element, ie the main element, or majority, of the second powder, is chosen from the following elements: Si or Al, - the second the element is Si, the second powder is an Si powder or an Al powder. the exothermic reaction takes place between the first element and Si or Al, and results in the formation of silicides or aluminides. Since the formation reactions of the silicides or aluminides are highly exothermic, they make it possible to melt together, locally, first and second powders having the abovementioned compositions.
    [0007] The features and advantages of the process, as well as others, will become apparent upon reading the following detailed description of exemplary embodiments. This detailed description refers to the accompanying drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The accompanying drawings are diagrammatic and not to scale, they are intended primarily to illustrate the principles of the invention. In these drawings, from one figure (FIG) to the other, identical elements (or element parts) are identified by the same reference signs. FIG 1 shows an example of installation for the implementation of the method. FIGS. 2 and 3 show diagrammatically different steps of the process. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EXAMPLE (S) Examples of implementation are described in detail below, with reference to the accompanying drawings. These examples illustrate the features and advantages of the invention. However, it is recalled that the invention is not limited to these examples. An example of an apparatus for manufacturing a part by selective melting of powder is shown in FIG. 1. It comprises: a first reservoir 1 containing a first powder 2 and whose bottom wall 3 is movable and displaceable in translation, a second tank 21 containing a second powder 22 and whose bottom wall 23 is movable and movable in translation, and a tank 5 located between the tanks 1 and 21, and whose bottom wall 6 is also movable in translation. In the example, the bottom walls 3, 23 and 6 are each constituted by a plate integral in translation with the rod 4, 7, 24 of an actuator, e.g. a cylinder. The installation comprises a scraper 8 or a roller for bringing a quantity of powder 2 from the tank 1 to the tank 5, by displacement on a horizontal plane A, and a scraper 28 or a roller enabling a quantity of powder 22 of the tank 21 towards the tank 5, by displacement on the horizontal plane A. The installation also comprises means 9 for generating a laser beam or an electron beam, coupled to a device 10 for orient and move the beam 11.
    [0008] The steps for manufacturing a part using this installation are as follows. First, the bottom 3 of the tank 1 is moved upward so that a certain amount of the first powder 2 is located above the horizontal plane A. The scraper 8 is then moved from the left towards the right (with reference to FIG 1), so as to scrape said powder 2 on top of the tank 1 and bring it into the tank 5. The amount of powder 2 and the position of the bottom wall 6 of the tank 5 are determined so as to form a first layer 12 of powder of a selected and constant thickness.
    [0009] As illustrated in FIG. 2, a laser beam or an electron beam 11 then scans a determined zone of the layer 12, so as to melt locally and superficially the first powder 2 of this layer 12, at the locations swept by the beam . The melted zones solidify by forming a skin 13 on the surface of the layer 12. It will be noted that this step of forming the skin 13 is optional. The bottom wall 6 of the tank 5 is then lowered. The bottom wall 23 of the reservoir 21 is moved upwards so that a certain amount of the second powder 22 is located above the horizontal plane A. The wiper 28 is then moved from right to left ( with reference to FIG 1), so as to scrape said powder 22 on the top of the tank 21 and to bring it into the tank 5, on the first layer 12. The amount of powder 22 and the position of the bottom wall 6 of the tank 5 are determined so as to form a second layer 15 of powder of a selected and constant thickness.
    [0010] As illustrated in FIG. 3, a laser beam or an electron beam 11 then scans a determined area of the second layer 15 so as to melt the first and second layers 12, 15 together in the scanned area. The melted zones solidify by forming a first layer of material 17. The bottom wall 6 is lowered and a new layer 12 of powder 2 and a new layer of powder 22 are successively fed, in the same manner as previously, on the first layer of material 17. By controlled displacement of the beam 11, a second layer of material 18 is formed on the first layer of material 17, as illustrated in FIG.
    [0011] These operations are repeated until the completion of the piece by superposition of the many layers of material. The manufactured part is, for example, a metal part subjected to high temperatures in operation and, in particular, temperatures above 1500 ° C. This type of part is hereinafter called "refractory part". The first powder 2 is, for example, a niobium (Nb) or molybdenum (Mo) -based metal powder. These alloys have the advantage of having very high melting points, higher than superalloys currently used to make refractory pieces. In addition, base alloys Nb significantly reduce the mass of the part manufactured because of their low density (compared to superalloys nickel base), while maintaining good mechanical properties. Such advantages are interesting, especially in the aeronautical field.
    [0012] The above-mentioned niobium-based alloys may, for example, contain one or more addition elements from silicon (Si), titanium (Ti), chromium (Cr), aluminum (Al), hafnium (Hf), molybdenum (Mo), tin (Sn), etc. The above-mentioned molybdenum-based alloys may, for example, contain one or more addition members of silicon (Si), boron (B) and zirconium (Zr).
    [0013] The second powder 22 is, for example, a silicon-based powder. For example, the Si mass content of this powder is greater than 80% and can be close to 100%. The particle size of the second powder 22 may be smaller than the particle size of the first powder 2. The particle size of the first powder 2 may be between 20 and 60 microns. The second powder 22 has, among other advantages, the fact of having a melting temperature much lower than that of the first powder 2. The second powder 22 can, moreover, make it possible to "plug" possible cracks within the layers of matter during their formation. The modes or examples of embodiment described in the present description are given for illustrative and not limiting, a person skilled in the art can easily, in view of this presentation, modify these modes or examples of embodiment, or consider others, all remaining within the scope of the invention. In addition, the various features of these modes or embodiments can be used alone or be combined with each other. When combined, these features may be as described above or differently, the invention not being limited to the specific combinations described herein. In particular, unless otherwise specified, a characteristic described in connection with a mode or example of embodiment may be applied in a similar manner to another embodiment or embodiment.
