Abstract
An essentially cylindrical porous blank is formed by the deposition of SiO.sub.2 particles onto the lateral cylindrical surface of a cylindrical mandrel, rotating around its longitudinal axis; this blank is provided with a holding element of quartz glass in the form of a hollow body, which surrounds a section of the mandrel and which is at least partially embedded in the area of one of the ends of the blank. The blank is then sintered. In order to securely support even heavy blanks without complicated holding devices, the holding element is fused into the area of at least one of the ends of the blank during the deposition process by the maintenance of a high temperature.
