Abstract: A process for producing a tube target for cathode sputtering plants, in which the tube target is formed from a metallic inner tube (target holder) made of a first material with a first melting point of Ts1≧900 K and a metallic outer tube (target) that concentrically surrounds the inner tube and that is made of a second material with a second melting point of Ts2≦800 K. The inside diameter of the outer tube and the outside diameter of the inner tube are proportioned in such a way that the two tubes fit together tightly and are mechanically firmly joined. The outer tube is formed by casting the second material in a molten state in a heated, vertical, cylindrical permanent mold, which has a heated mandrel that constitutes the inner tube.

Abstract: The round baler for agricultural stalk crops comprises a round-bale wrapping device with a netting web, as well as a separation device for severing the netting web. Said device consists of a beating knife bar and an anvil which is formed as a countercutter and stationarily mounted on the frame and whose surface which is acted upon by the beating knife bar is provided with a plurality of parallel spaced-apart recesses.
