JOINT FOR SEALING A GAP BETWEEN CASING SEGMENTS OF AN INDUSTRIAL GAS TURBINE ENGINE COMBUSTOR

摘要

A casing for a combustor includes an upstream segment, a downstream segment and a joint. The downstream segment is constructed and arranged to move telescopically with respect to the upstream segment and along a centerline. The joint includes a flange and bonding material, which attaches the flange to the upstream segment or the downstream segment. A melting point of the bonding material is less than a melting point of the flange and/or a melting point of the segments.
