Abstract

Abstract In a protective gas atmosphere, at least one metal of high vapor pressure (diffusion metal) is admitted as an alloying component through diffusion into the impregnating metal of lower melting point such as silver or copper contained in the pores of the frame metal, such as tungsten, rhenium or molybdenum. The diffusion temperature is chosen so that the impregnating metal exists in the liquid phase at least after the diffusion of the diffusion metals. The diffusion takes place, preferably, at 20 to 240*C above the melting temperature of the impregnating metal or the alloy formed between the impregnating metal and the diffusion metal. As the diffusion metal is used at least one of the metals bismuth, cadmium, gallium, indium, lead, tin and tellurium.
