Gas turbine combustor
The invention provides a gas turbine combustor having structural reliability against vibration of fuel nozzles caused by fluid force and high environmental performance by uniform combustion in a combustion chamber. The gas turbine combustor comprises a fuel nozzle configured to inject fuel, and a fuel nozzle plate including a hole section into which an insertion section located in a root part of the fuel nozzle is inserted. The fuel nozzle includes a male screw section at least on an outer circumferential surface of a downstream portion viewed from a flowing direction of the fuel in the insertion section. The fuel nozzle plate includes a female screw section in the hole section. The female screw section screws with the male screw section. The fuel nozzle includes the insertion section. An upstream end portion of the insertion section is metallurgically joined to an upstream end portion of the fuel nozzle plate.
