Abstract

A mold for press-molding glass elements comprising a base member made of a super hard alloy or a cermet; at least one intermediate layer made of a nitride, a carbide, an oxide or a metal, provided on the base member; and a noble metal layer provided on the intermediate layer for forming a mold surface. An active metal contained in the base member is prevented from diffusing to the mold surface by the presence of the intermediate layer.
