ABSTRACT:
For the production of lightweight reflectors or mirror structures, metallic silicon of sufficient thickness is applied to a CFC or CMC substrate preform structure having the dimensions of the component to be produced by a heat treatment process, in particular at temperatures between 1300.degree. C. and 1600.degree. C. and in a vacuum or in a protective atmosphere. In this way, reflectors or mirror structures are formed directly. It is possible to work at temperatures of 300.degree.-600.degree. C. when the silicon is applied in the form of wafers which are joined to the substrate preform by way a zone of a melt eutectic incorporating a nonferrous metal. Preferably the nonferrous metal is gold.
