Abstract

The invention concerns the production of ceramic-metal multilayer components comrising effecting, after making up in the crude state, in particular by metallization and stacking of pre-cut raw ceramic bands, a simultaneous firing operation, termed cofiring, on the components under an atmosphere based on hydrogen or nitrogen or a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen, having a regulated water vapor content at a temperature of first of all between 800.degree. C. and 1800.degree. C., and more precisely either at a moderately high temperature plateau between 800.degree. C. and 1300.degree. C. for certain ceramic materials such as codierite and metallic materials such as copper and nickel, or at a temperature plateau between about 1400.degree. C. and 1800.degree. C. for refractory materials such as tungsten, molybdenum, alumina, according to which the atmosphere having a water vapor content is obtained by addition to a vector gas at (13) and (14) of a quantity of additional oxygen (15), and a quantity of additional hydrogen at (14) sufficient to obtain by hydrogen-oxidation reaction the predetermined water vapor content, and determining these quantities of addition of oxygen and the continge…
