Method for applying heat resistant protection components onto a surface of a heat exposed component

A method for applying heat resistant protection components with a surface onto a surface of a heat exposed component, the method comprising the steps of

• providing at least two separate heat resistant protection components,
• joining the at least two separate heat protection components onto their top surface and/or bottom surface and/or at least one side surface by flexible means and fixing the flexible means with the heat protection components by an adhesive material for obtaining an integrally handable entity,
• fixing the integrally handable entity by applying and brazing the surface of each heat protection component on the surface of the heat exposed component, wherein
• the flexible means are made of a material that withstands brazing being performed under protective atmosphere, i.e. an atmosphere without or with reduced amount of oxygen, at process temperatures between 700° C. and 1200° C.,
• the adhesive material withstands brazing being performed under protective atmosphere, i.e. an atmosphere without or with reduced amount of oxygen, at process temperatures between 700° C. and 1200° C. and
• burning out said materials after brazing during a following oxidizing thermal step.
