Drilled and integrated secondary fuel nozzle and manufacturing method

A secondary fuel nozzle assembly comprising:

• A core portion having proximal and distal longitudinal ends, a central bore extending therethrough from said proximal end to said distal end for receiving a liquid fuel cartridge, and at least two passages concentric with said central bore and extending axially in parallel to said central bore along at least a part of the length thereof to said distal end;
• and
• a unitary secondary fuel nozzle portion, the secondary fuel nozzle portion including a base flange, and a main shaft having a central bore for aligning with the central bore of the core portion and for receiving the liquid fuel cartridge, and a plurality of peripheral, axially extending bores where each bore is disposed at a respective circumferentially spaced location about and extending in parallel to the central bore of the secondary fuel nozzle portion for flow communication at a proximal end thereof with at least one of said concentric passages of the core portion at the distal end of the core portion,
• wherein said core portion and said one piece secondary fuel nozzle portion are integrated into a one-piece assembly by being at least one of brazed and welded together.
