ABSTRACT:
A turbomachine blade includes a metal alloy airfoil having a cavity closed off by a cover on a hollowed side, the cover providing aerodynamic continuity of the hollowed side and being bonded via an edge thereof to the rest of the airfoil by a weld bead. The weld bead emerges on the hollowed side and penetrates into the airfoil to a depth P at least equal to the thickness EC of the edge of the cover so as to provide continuity of material between the edge of the cover and the rest of the airfoil over a depth at least equal to the thickness EC of the edge of the cover. A process for manufacturing such a blade is also disclosed.
