Abstract

The invention relates to a process for producing a metal-coated, metallized component of aluminum nitride ceramic in the steps: PA1 preparation of a metallizing paste comprising a pulverulent glass of the MnO--Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 --SiO.sub.2 system and a refractory metal powder, PA1 application of the metallizing paste to the component surface, PA1 firing the component coated with metallizing paste at a temperature >1100.degree. C. under a reducing moist gas atmosphere of hydrogen-containing nitrogen, PA1 coating the metallized component with metal by means of metal plating, wherein, during the heating up of the ceramic component coated with metallizing paste, the atmosphere is humidified with water vapor so that the water vapor content in the temperature range between 800.degree. C. and 1050.degree. C. corresponds to a dew point of >295 K and the water vapor content outside this temperature range corresponds to a dew point of >295 K. The invention also relates to a metallizing paste comprising a adhesion promotor of glass powder having a mean particle size of 2-15 .mu.m, a refractory metal powder having a mean particle size of 1-4 .mu.m and an organic resin dissolved in a suitable so…
