Abstract

The invention refers to a method for fixing a heat resistant component on a surface of a heat exposed component, by brazing of at least a part of a surface of the heat resistant component limited by a peripheral boundary edge on the surface of the heat exposed component using a molten solder. A first alternative includes: metallizing the surface of the heat resistant component at least with the exception of an edge area comprising the peripheral boundary edge; and brazing said metallized surface to the surface of the heat exposed component, wherein at least the surface of the heat resistant component consists of a ceramic material which has a physico-chemical property concerning wettability such that the ceramic material is not wettable by the molten solder, and/or a metal or a metal alloy is used for metallizing which has a physico-chemical property concerning wettability such that the metallizing is wettable by the molten solder.

Claims (17)

1 . A method for fixing a heat resistant component on a surface of a heat exposed component, by brazing of at least a part of a surface of the heat resistant component limited by a peripheral boundary edge on the surface of the heat exposed component using a molten solder, comprising:

metallizing the surface of the heat resistant component at least with the exception of an edge area comprising the peripheral boundary edge and

brazing said metallized surface to the surface of the heat exposed component, wherein:

at least the surface of the heat resistant component consists of a ceramic material which has a physico-chemical property concerning wettability such that the ceramic material is not wettable by the molten solder, and/or

a metal or a metal alloy is used for metallizing which has a physico-chemical property concerning wettability such that the metallizing is wettable by the molten solder.

2 . A method for fixing heat resistant component on a surface of a heat exposed component; the method comprising brazing of at least a part of a surface of the heat resistant component limited by a peripheral boundary edge on the surface of the heat exposed component using a molten solder,

coating at least an edge area comprising the peripheral boundary edge of the heat resistant component with a distance layer having a physico-chemical property concerning wettability such that the distance layer is not wettable by the molten solder and

brazing the surface of the heat resistant component, having a physico-chemical property concerning wettability such that the surface is wettable by the molten solder, to the surface of the heat exposed component.

3 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein the brazing is carried out under a protective atmosphere, i.e. without oxygen or a reduced amount of oxygen, and that after brazing a burning step follows in which the distance layer covering at least the edge area comprising the peripheral boundary edge is burned out under air atmosphere.

4 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein at least the surface of the heat resistant component consists is of a ceramic material, the distance layer consists of carbon or a polymeric material and the solder consists of a metal or metal alloy.

5 . A method for fixing a heat resistant component on a surface of a heat exposed component, by brazing a contact surface of the heat resistant component limited by a peripheral boundary edge on the surface of the heat exposed component using a molten solder or according to claim 4 , the method comprising:

structuring the contact surface of the heat resistant component and/or the surface of the heat exposed component such that an edge area of the heat resistant component comprising the peripheral boundary edge does not have a contact to the surface of the heat exposed component after contacting both surfaces and

brazing said surfaces, each having a physico-chemical property concerning wettability such that the surfaces are wettable by the molten solder.

6 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the structuring is performed such that after brazing the peripheral boundary edge of the heat resistant component enclosing a free gap with the surface of the heat exposed component.

7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the solder is a braze metal alloy.

8 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the surface of the heat exposed component is of metallic material which has a physico-chemical property concerning wettability such that the metal is wettable by the molten solder.

9 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the heat resistant component is a plate-like component of ceramic material having a plate thickness between 1 mm and 10 mm, preferably 6 mm and a plate surface size between 0,5 cm 2 and 10 cm 2 .
