Abstract

Masking device for a flat-screen color-display cathode-ray tube, comprising a support frame for a tensioned shadow mask and a tensioned shadow mask. The support frame is made of a hardened Fe&#8212;Ni alloy having a thermal expansion coefficient between 20&deg; C. and 150&deg; C. of less than 5&times;10&#8722;6 K&#8722;1 and a yield stress Rp0.2 at 20&deg; C. of greater than 700 MPa; the tensioned shadow mask is made of an Fe&#8212;Ni alloy having a thermal expansion coefficient between 20&deg; C. and 150&deg; C. of less than 3&times;10&#8722;6 K&#8722;1; the Fe&#8212;Ni alloys are chosen so that: below a temperature T1, the mean expansion coefficient &agr;20-T, between 20&deg; C. and T, of the alloy of the support frame is greater than the mean expansion coefficient &agr;20-T of the alloy of the shadow mask, and above T1 the coefficient &agr;20-T of the alloy of the frame is less than the coefficient &agr;20-T of the alloy of the shadow mask, where T1<350&deg; C. and preferably <300&deg; C.
