Abstract
A process for the manufacture of a cooling unit particularly for fusion reactors. The cooling unit consists of one or more parts made of heat-resistant material, preferably graphite, which are joined to at least one metallic coolant conduit, preferably made of copper or a copper alloy. The joint is produced by bringing molten metal of the coolant conduit into contact with the parts made of heat-resistant material. One or more metals of the secondary groups IV and/or V of the periodic table are introduced at the contact surface between the coolant conduit and the heat-resistant parts. The metal of the coolant conduit is thereafter cooled to solidify the coolant conduit in the desired shape.
