Abstract

The invention concerns a method for producing parts made of thin, light and rigid metal alloy essentially having the following steps: producing a core having the part shape; producing cavities in the core; producing shells made of metal alloy combined with reinforcing fibers with high modulus of elasticity; densifying the shells; and diffusion welding of the shells on the core by compression at temperature and pressure conditions for isothermal forging of the metal alloy used.
