Abstract [eng] Context. Open clusters provide valuable information on stellar nucleosynthesis and the chemical evolution of the Galactic disk, as their age and distances can be measured more precisely with photometry than in the case of field stars. Aims. Our aim is to study the chemical distribution of the Galactic disk using open clusters by analyzing the existence of gradients with Galactocentric distance, azimuth, or height from the plane and dependency with age. Methods. We used the high-resolution spectra (R > 60 000) of 194 stars belonging to 36 open clusters to determine the atmospheric parameters and chemical abundances with two independent methods: equivalent widths and spectral synthesis. The sample was complemented with 63 clusters with high-resolution spectroscopy from literature. Results. We measured LTE abundances for 21 elements: α (Mg, Si, Ca, and Ti), odd-Z (Na and Al), Fe-peak (Fe, Sc, V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn), and neutron-capture (Sr, Y, Zr, Ba, Ce, and Nd). We also provide non-local thermodynamic equilibrium abundances for elements when corrections are available. We find inner disk young clusters enhanced in [Mg/Fe] and [Si/Fe] compared to other clusters of their age. For [Ba/Fe], we report an age trend flattening for older clusters (age 2̇ Ga).
