    Abstract: The method comprising the following steps: a) Providing a first bath of a liquid metal (1) comprising aluminium with a content X and magnesium with a content Y, the magnesium content Y being different to zero, b) Immersing at least partially a sonotrode (3) formed from a material inert to liquid aluminium, in the first bath of liquid metal (1), and c) Applying power ultrasounds to the sonotrode (3) so as to excite the liquid metal (1) until wetting (5) of the sonotrode (3) by the liquid metal (1) is obtained. d) Cooling the first liquid metal (1) of the first bath until solidification of the first liquid metal (1) around the sonotrode (3) is obtained, generating an intimate bond (6) between the sonotrode (3) and the solidified first liquid metal (1) having a bonding strength substantially equal to that of brazing between two metals. e) Machining the solidified first metal (1) in the form of a flange (7) configured for the attachment of a mechanical amplifier and/or of a transducer (4).

    Abstract: A process for manufacturing a bimetallic part by means of a first component formed by a first aluminum alloy and a second component formed by a second aluminum alloy, said process involving: assembling the first component and the second component to obtain an assembled part; applying a thermal treatment to the assembled part at a temperature of 100 to 250° C., the thermal treatment causing the assembled part to deform, in particular as a result of a metallurgical deformation by a precipitation of hardening phases of the first component and/or the second component; cooling the part to ambient temperature, upon which the part remains deformed. The process involves, prior to the assembling step, an estimation of the degree of deformation that the assembled part will undergo under the effect of the thermal treatment.
