Gas turbine thermal shroud with improved durability
Abstract:
Shroud device thermally protecting a gas turbine blade, having a ceramic layer and a metallic layer, the metallic layer being thermally protected by the ceramic layer, the ceramic layer being mechanically joined to the metallic layer by a fixation device having a plurality of protrusions extending from the metallic layer designed so as to engage with a plurality of cavities located in the ceramic layer, such that there exists a gap between the cavities and the protrusions at ambient temperature, the gap disappearing at high temperature operation of the gas turbine, the protrusions being then locked into the cavities.
