Abstract
A process for manufacturing a structural element capable of carrying high thermal loads, such as a heat shield for fusion reactors. The structural element comprises components of high heat-resistant material (such as graphite) joined to metallic components. A metallic, ductile intermediate layer is applied to the components of high heat-resistant material and then, the components of high heat-resistant material and metallic components are joined by high-energy beam welding.
