2. FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to a cutting tool having a tool shank and a cutting head made of different materials which are integrally connected to one another via a joining layer made of ductile brazing material at joining surfaces facing one another. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method of producing such a cutting tool and to a brazing disk suitable for producing such a cutting tool. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In the production of boring bars, it is known to produce the tool shank and cutting head separately from different materials, for example by machining or by non-cutting shaping, and to braze them to one another at joining surfaces facing one another (DE-A-198 56 986). A considerable problem with the brazed connection to be produced consists in the fact that the materials to be connected have different coefficients of thermal expansion. 3. This means that stresses may occur in the region of the brazed Connection during the cooling process, and these stresses, may reduce the loading capacity of the tool and lead to risk formation. OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The object of the invention is therefore to improve the known cutting tools of the type specified at the beginning to the effect that the internal stresses occurring in the joining region during the cooling after the brazing operation can be reduced or eliminated. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The solution according to the invention is primarily based on the idea that the joining layer, over its layer thickness, has a coefficient of thermal expansion which is reduced compared with the brazing material used, with the aim of obtaining in the joining layers, on the shank side and the head side, coefficients of thermal expansion which are brought more into line with the adjacent material- In order to achieve this, it is proposed according to the invention that powder particles made of a 4. temperature-resistant material having a lower coefficient of thermal expansion than the brazing material be embedded in the joining layer. A variable coefficient of thermal expansion Can be achieved by the density of the powder particles varying over the thickness of the joining layer. A preferred configuration of the invention provides for the tool shank to be made of steel, preferably of tool steel, whereas the cutting head is made of a material of the group comprising cemented carbide, cermet ceramic, PCD or boron nitride. The joining layer expediently contains a brazing material of the group comprising copper, silver, cobalt or their alloys, whereas the powder particles embedded in the brazing material of the joining layer are made of a material of the group comprising tungsten, molybdenum, iron, cobalt, nickel or their carbides. The thickness of the joining layer should be a multiple of the diameter of the powder particles and should preferably correspond to 10 to 1000 time the diameter of the powder particles. The thickness of the joining layer itself is expediently 0.2 to 1 mm. 5. For the above combination of features, it is advantageous if the density of the powder particles on the siede of the cutting head is greater than on the side of the total shank. The joining surfaces, facing one another, of the cutting head and the tool shank are preferably designed as plane surfaces parallel to one another. However, it has been found that, in order to reduce joining stresses, it any be advantageous if the joining surfaces, facing one another, of the cutting head and the tool shank are preferably curved so as to be complementary to one another. It has proved to be especially advantageous if the joining surface of the cutting head is convexly curved and if the joining surface of the tool shank is concavely curved. In this way, the stresses which occur in the joining layer between cemented carbide and brazing filler, and which could lead to crack formation in the case of plane joining surfaces parallel to one another, can be reduced. As an alternative thereto, the joining surfaces may also have structures in the form of grooves, humps, depressions, prominences. In the joined state, such structures result in positive locking and mechanical regions which lead to a stress reduction and to an improved torque transmission. 6. A further advantageous configuration of the invention provides for the tool shank to have at least one preferably helical wound flute» which passes through the joining layer in the direction of the tool head. Furthermore) it is proposed according to the invention that the tool shank have at least one preferably helically wound functional passage, which passes through the joining layer in the direction of the tool head. The functional passage is mainly intended to direct a cooling lubricant through the tool shank to the cutting edges of the cutting head. For other applications) it is in principle also possible for the density of the powder particles to vary over the radius of the joining layer. This is advantageous in particular if the brazing disk contains inhomogeneities due to the design, for example a non-melting core as centering means. According to the invention, in the production of the cutting tool, a preformed tool shank and a cutting head preferably preformed as a blank are integrally connected to one another? by fusing and subsequently cooling a brazing filler in the region of a joining gap while forming a joining layer. In this case» the 7. invention provides for the brazing filler in the form of at least one disk made of brazing material containing embedded temperature-resistant powder particles, preferably with a variable density over the disk thickness, to be inserted into the joining gap. In this case, it is possible in principle for the brazing disk to be fixed beforehand to one of the joining members, for example for it is to be sintered on. The variation in the desnity profile in the joining layer can be achieved by a plurality of brazing disks having a different particle density being inserted into the joining gap and being fused to one another there. The method sequence during the production of the brazed connection according to the invention expediently has the following steps: a) the joining members consisting of the cutting head and the tool shank are heated as least to the melting temperatures of the brazing filler used; b) the at least one brazing disk is inserted into a joining gap between the joining members before, during or after the heating; 8. c) after the joining temperature is reached, the contact - surfaces, facing one another, of the joining members are wetted with fused brazing material; d) after that, the joining members are coaled preferably to room temperature while forming a composite part; e) the composite part is then machined preferably at room temperature and is brought to the same diameter in the joining region, for exmample by grinding; f) the composite part prepared in this way is heated again to a coating temperature below the joining temperature and held for a time at this temperature and in the process is tempered and preferably coated with a coating material; g) after that, the composite part is cooled to room temperature while forming the finished part. The axial density profile of the powder particles in the bra2ing material is selected in such a way that an essentially stress-free joining zone is formed in the finished part. 9. The tool shank preferably made of a surface-carburized case-hardened steel is hardened during the quenching of the joining members and is annealed and stress-re1ieved during the subsequent coating process.The brazing disk, in the solid state before the heating of the joining members, is preferably connected to one of the joining members, preferably slipped onto or sintered into place on said joining member. According to the invention, the brazing disk used for producing the brazed joint is made of of a ductile brazing material in which powder particles made of a temperature-resistant material having a lower coefficent of thermal expansion than the brazing material are embedded . The density of the powder particles advantageously varies over the disk thickness, it being possible for the density variation to be produced by a plurality of brazing disks having different particle density. In certain applications, it is also possible to use brazing disks whose particle density varies over the disk radius. 10. The brazing disk expediently contains a brazing material of the group comprising copper) silver, cobalt or their felfeoys, whereas the powder particles embedded in the brazing material are made of a material of the group comprising tungsten , molybdenum, iron, cobalt* nickel or their carbides. According to a further preferred configuration of the invention, the brazing disk has a convex marginal contour which is adapted to the contact points of the joining members and which is interruped by at least one concave marginal recess for a flute to pass through. Two concave marginal recesses arranged on sides opposite one another are advantageously provided. In addition, the brazing disks may be provided with at least one hole which is in alignment with a functional passage in the joining members. For this connection of joining members having contact surfaces which are not flat, the brazing disk may also be designed as a three-dimensional shaped piece having a corresponding outer contour and 1 if need be, having transverse passages or apertures. 11.

DETAIL DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION The (jetting tool shown in Figs 1 and 2 essentially comprise a tool shank 10 and a cutting head 12 which are integrally connected (brazed) to one another at their joining surfaces 14« 16 facing one another by means of a brazing disk 18 made of ductile material. The exemplary embodiment shown in Figs la to c is designed as a drilling tool , whereas the exemplary according to Figs 2a and b is designed as a reaming tool. In the case of Figs la to c, the tool shank 10 has two flutes 20f which are defined at their flanks by two helically curved lands 22. Furthermore, provided in the tool shank are two functional passages 24 of triangular cross section which are helically curved with the same pitch as the ribs 22 and extend along the ribs 22 of the tool shank 10. The tool shank 10* which is preferably made of carburized case-hardened steel , forms a semifinished product whose flutes 20 and functional passages 24 have been shaped into a tubular blank by rotary swaging (cf. DE-A-198 56 986). The blank is expediently made of a case-hardened steel whose phase transformation point lies within a 14. range of between 480 and 650°C. A case-hardended steei having a carbon content of less than 2%, preferably a 16MnCr5 steel, is advantageously used for this purpose . On account of its ducti1 ity, this material can be worked without cracking in the swaging process- The material is then surface-hardened either only on the outside or on the outside and inside by carburizing. As a result) a defined hardness profile over the wall cross section is obtained, so that in the hardened state the drill body has hard surface regions and tough inner regions which ensure that any cracks which arise in the hardened region do not continue into the interior of the drill. As a result, the risk of fracture is reduced and the loading capacity of the drill is increased - Alternatively, the drill may also be hardened by nitriding- The high phase transformation point is also advantageous for the subsequent brazing process, since during the cooling the phase transformation is associated with an increase in volume which reduces any stresses at the joint with the brazing filler, so that crack formation at the joint is avoided. The relatively low proportion of chrome in the case-hardened steel is decisive for these properties- The cutting head 12 is farmed as a shaped part preferably from cemented carbide, cermet, ceramic or polycrystalline diamond. 15. It also contains flutes 26 and functional passages 28, which communicate with the flutes 20 and the functional passages 24, respectively, of the tool shank 10. In the reamer according to Fig. 2(a) or 2 , the tool shank 10 is integrally connected (brazed) to a cutting head 12. designed as a reaming head* by means of a brazing disk 18. The functional passages 24, 28 are arranged there centrally in the tool shank 10 and in the cutting head 12. Since the tool shank 10 and the cutting head 12 are made of different materials, they have different coefficients of thermal expansion. During the brazing operation , internal stresses may occur in the joining layer 18' and in the boundary region of the joining surfaces 14, 16, and these stresses may reduce the loading capacity of the tool and lead to crack formation- In order to avoid this, the brazing disk is made of a ductile brazing material 30 made of copper or silver in which powder particles 31 made of a temperature-resistance materialt that is to say a material which does not melt at joining temperature, having a lower coefficient of thermal expansion than the brazing material 30 are embedded- The powder particles 31 are 16. completely enveloped by the brazing material 30 and are wetted with the brazing material during the fusion. They have the task of adapting the coefficients of thermal expansion of the brazing material to the two joining members (tool shank 10 and cutting head 12)- In this case, the density of the powder particles is variable over the thickness of the brazing disk 18 or the joining layer 18'- In the exemplary embodiment shown, the density of the powder particles is higher on the side 32 of the cutting head 12 than on the side 34 of the tool shank 10. The powder particles embedded in the brazing material can be made of a material of the group comprising tungsten, molybdenum, iron, cobalt, nickel or their carbides. In the exemplary embodiment shown in Figs 1 to c» the brazing disk IS has5 in adaptation to the contour in the contour of the joining surfaces 14, 16, a convex outer contour 36 which is interrupted by the concave marginal recesses 38. The marginal recesses correspond to the flutes 20 in the adjacent joining members 10, 12. Furthermore, the brazing disk 18 there contains two apertures 40 which are triangular in outline and which corresponds in their arrangement and shape to the functional passages 24 in the tool shank 10. Arranged in the brazing disk 17. 18 in the exemplary embodiment according to Figs 2 (a) or 2(b), is a central aperture 14, via which the functional passages 24, 28 in the tool shank 10 and in the reaming head 12 communicate after the joining process. During the brazing operation, the brazing disk IB is inserted between the joining surfaces 14, 16 of the tool shank 10 and or the cutting head 12- The relevant parts are then heated to melting temperature of the brazing material and are connected to one another while the joining layer 18' is formed. The changes in size which occur during the brazing operation and during a subsequent coating operation on account of the different thermal expansion in the two joining members 10> 12 are shown schematically in the sequence scheme according to Fig. 4. There j the tool shank 10 made of steel and the cutting head 12 made of cemented carbide are shown on the left and the right, respectively, in a side view and are shown on the far right in a plan view from the tool shank. For the sake of simplicity, the joining zone 18' between the two joining members 10, 12 is indicated by a gap 18'. This gap 18' contains the brazing disk 18. 18 (Fig. 4a) or the joining layer 18' (Figs 4b to g). The changes in size (length and diameter) of the joining members are shown exaggerated in Fig. 4 for clarification. At the initial point in Fig. 4a, the joining members 10, 12 are shown as cylindrical components of the same size. During the heating to joining temperature of 1100 °C ( copper brazing filler), the cylinders expand differently on account of the different thermal epansion. The component 10 (steel) expands more than the component 12 ( cemented carbide ). Since there is still no connection between the components , no internal stresses occur in the joining region in the course of the heating. After the joining temperature at 1100°C is reached (Fig. 4c), the brazing material becomes molten. At this temperature, the enlarged cylinders form an internal connection which is sti11 free of stress. During the coaling to room temperature (Fig. 4d), the brazing filler solidifies, while a reduction in diameter occurs in the components 10 and 12. In addition, a new hardness zone 10' which is associated with an increased lettice stress and an increase in lattice stress and an increase in volume forms in the steel within the region of rapid cooling. In the cooled state, the component is finally machined (Fig. 4e>. In the process, the 19. components are ground to the same diameter. For the tool and the cutting material , it is essential that the parts, after being connected , are coated with a material of high hardness, such as titanium, titanium nitride , boron nitride or aluminum nitride. To this end, the tool is heated to a coating temperature of about 500 C (Fig 4f). The coating material is vapor-deposited on the tool in a vacuum at the coating temperature. In the processt the temperature is kept constant for a certain period. At the increased temperature, a structural change occurs in the steel, on account of which the hardening in the new hardness zone 10' is neutralized. At the same time, this results in a reduction in volume in the steel (Fig. 4g). During the subsequent cooling, this leads to the component 10 in the region of the zone 10' being given a smaller outside diameter than immediately after the brazing process. In the process, there is the risk of internal stresses occurring in the joining region. According to the invention, these stresses are avoided by the variation, indicated schematically in Fig. 3, in the powder density in the joining layer 18'. With regard to its ducti1ity and thermal expansion, the brazing disk 18 must therefore be designed in such a way that, in the coated work state (Fig. 4g), there must largely be freedom from stress in the joining region 18' and in the adjacent regions 20. of the joining surfaces 14, 16. In the intermediate states, the brazing filler must absorb the stresses possibly occurring on account of its ductility and the locally varying thermal expansion. As shown in Figs 5a to c and 6, the brazing disk 18 may also be formed as a shaped part in which passage-forming recesses 42 or holes 44 are formed- Provided in the case of Figs 5a and b are two complementary brazing disks 18 whose recesses 42 open at the margin complement one another to form closed radial passages 42* after the brazing operation. In the case of Fig.65 the brazing disk 18 is designed as a three-dimentiona1 shaped piece which has a conical centering section 46 amd obiique holes 44. To this end, the joining surfaces 14, 16 of the joining members 10, 12 must be adapted to the adjacent external and internal cones 44, 46' of the brazing disk 18. In this case, in addition to the centering function, the conical centering section 46, 46' also has an orientation function, which ensures that the brazing disk with its variable thermal expansion is inserted with the correct orientation. 21. In the exemplary embodiments shown in Figs 1 and 2, the joining surfaces 14, 16 of the joining members 10, 12 are designed as plane surfaces parallei to one another. Tests have shown that, in particular in a cemented carbide body as joining member, cracks which originate from joining stresses may occur. These inadmissible joining stresses can be reduced or avoided by the joining surfaces facing one another being curved concavely and/or convexly. In the case of the exemplary embodinent according to Fig. 7, the joining surface 16 of the cutting head, preferably made of cemented carbide, is curved convexly and the joining surface 14 of the tool shank 10 is curved concavely- the brazing disk 18 having a curvature complementary thereto on its sides 32, 34 facing the joining members. For clarification, the relevant curvatures in Fig. 7 are shown exaggerated. In summary the following may be emphasized! the invention relates to a cutting tool having a tool shank 10 and a cutting head 12 made of different materials which are integrally connected to one another via a joining layer 18' made of ductile 22. brazing material at joining surfaces 14, 16 facing one another. In order to obtain a largely stress-free brazed connection, it is proposed according to the invention that powder particles 31 made of a temperature-resistant material having a lower coefficient of thermal expansion than the brazing material 30 be embedded in the joining layer 18', the density of the powder particles 31 varying over the thickness of the joining layer 18'. 23.
