Abstract
Abstract A support arrangement for the shadow mask in a color television tube of slim design is shown to include a plurality of support members formed of a low cost thermostat metal embodying only iron alloy materials, which thermostat metal displays high strength and corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures and displays low flexivity and stable thermal response properties, the thermostat metal having outer metal layers of approximately equal thickness formed of nickel-chromium-iron and nickel-iron alloys respectively and having an intermediate layer of selected stainless steel comprising between 45 and 65 percent of the total thickness of the thermostat metal providing the thermostat metal with a flexivity in the range from 90 to 110 in the temperature range from room temperature up to about 350*F.
