A method for the mounting of a shadow mask in a trichromatic cathode tube pertains especially to the mounting of the mask on a frame. The shadow mask has a perforated, plane active surface which must be held under sufficient mechanical tension, so that it preserves its planarity during the functioning of the tube. The method consists in increasing the dimensions of the active surface, either by heating it to expand it or by stretching it mechanically to give it the desired mechanical tension, and then in soldering the mask to a sufficiently rigid frame to maintain the active surface in its state of mechanical tension.
