We study the diffusion process occurring just below the superficial convection zone of Am stars, improving the methods used sofar. We are now able to compute, in a more realistic way, the evolution of the concentrations during the stay of the stars on the main sequence for a large number of elements. This allows to better constrain the different properties (mass loss, depth of the superficial convection zone, transition between convection and radiative zone) entering the modelling of Am stars in the framework of a diffusion-dominant description.
