<p>The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a metal, ceramic, or composite part (PF) by flash sintering, which comprises simultaneously applying, inside a die (M), a uniaxial pressure and an electric current to a device containing a powder constituent material, said uniaxial pressure being applied by means of at least two pistons (P1, P2) which slide toward one another inside said die and each of which has a bearing surface (F1, F2) contacting said material, said bearing surfaces engaging so as to define the shape of the part to be manufactured, characterised in that: said part has a complex shape, including at least one first slender portion (V), such as a rod, plate, bevel, or shell, and a second portion (B), such as a base, plinth, or solid part, which is not slender in the slender direction of said first portion, and in that said uniaxial pressure is applied in a direction (z) substantially parallel to the smallest dimension of said first portion of the part, or to one of the two smallest dimensions thereof if said part is a rod. The invention also relates to a device for implementing such a method, and to a turbine blade made of a TiAl intermetallic alloy or a metal/silicide composite sintered by flash sintering.</p> |
