HOLLOW CURVED PLATE, MANUFACTURING METHOD OF THE SAME AND COMBUSTOR OF GAS TURBINE

1 . A hollow curved plate comprising:

a first plate member having a first groove; and

a second plate member having a second groove of approximately the same width as the first groove, the second plate member being bonded to the first plate member by diffusion bonding,

wherein the first groove faces the second groove, a position of the first groove substantially coincides with a position of the second groove in a width direction, and a hollow part is formed by the first groove and the second groove, and

wherein the hollow curved plate is formed of the first plate member and the second plate member curved by bending in a state where the first plate member and the second plate member are bonded together.

2 . The hollow curved plate according to claim 1 ,

wherein a relationship 0.9≦T 1 /T 2 ≦1.1 is satisfied, where T 1 is a thickness of the first plate member and T 2 is a thickness of the second plate member.

3 . The hollow curved plate according to claim 2 ,

wherein the thickness T 1 of the first plate member and the thickness T 2 of the second plate member are approximately the same.

4 . The hollow curved plate according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first plate member and the second plate member have approximately the same shape.

5 . The hollow curved plate according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first plate member and the second plate member are bonded together by solid phase diffusion bonding in which an insert metal is not used.

6 . A combustor of a gas turbine, comprising:

a combustor basket in which fuel is combusted; and

a transition piece for leading combustion gas generated by combustion of the fuel in the combustor basket to a turbine,

wherein at least one of the combustor basket or the transition piece includes the hollow curved plate described in claim 1 and is configured to be cooled by a cooling medium introduced to the hollow part of the hollow curved plate.

7 . A manufacturing method of a hollow curved plate, comprising the steps

overlapping a first plate member having a first groove and a second plate member having a second groove of approximately the same width as the first groove so that the first groove faces the second groove and a position of the first groove substantially coincides with a position of the second groove in a width direction;

bonding by diffusion bonding the first plate member and the second plate member having been overlapped; and

curving the bonded first and second plate members by bending,

wherein the first groove and the second groove form a hollow part.

8 . The manufacturing method of the hollow curved plate according to claim 7 ,

wherein a positioning hole is formed in each of the first plate member and the second plate member, and

wherein, in the step of overlapping, positioning of the first plate member and the second plate member is performed by inserting a pin in the positioning holes of the first plate member and the second plate member so that the position of the first groove substantially coincides with the position of the second groove in the width direction.

9 . The manufacturing method of the hollow curved plate according to claim 7 ,

wherein a projection is provided in one of the first plate member or the second plate member and a depression is provided in the other of the first plate member and the second plate member, and

wherein, in the overlapping step, positioning of the first plate member and the second plate member is performed by fitting the projection in the depression so that the position of the first groove substantially coincides with the position of the second groove in the width direction.
