The present invention relates to a gas-turbine combustion chamber having a head plate as well as an outer and an inner combustion chamber wall, wherein the combustion chamber is formed by segments or partial segments manufactured in one piece by means of a DLD method and welded to one another.
Claims5
A method of manufacturing a gas-turbine combustion chamber comprising:
- providing that the gas-turbine combustion chamber includes a combustion chamber head, a heat shield, an outer combustion chamber wall, and an inner combustion chamber wall;
- providing partial segments of the gas-turbine combustion chamber, the partial segments each manufactured in one piece by a direct laser deposition method, the direct laser deposition method including using at least one chosen from a laser and an electron beam to melt together, layer by layer, a powdery basic material including a metallic component to produce a three-dimensional workpiece;
- wherein the partial segments include first partial segments including a portion of the outer combustion chamber wall and second partial segments including a portion of the inner combustion chamber wall;
- wherein one of the first partial segments and the second partial segments include a portion of the combustion chamber head, and no portion of the heat shield, manufactured as one piece with the respective portion of the inner combustion chamber wall or outer combustion chamber wall and the other of the first partial segments and the second partial segments include a portion of the heat shield, and no portion of the combustion chamber head, manufactured as one piece with the respective portion of the inner combustion chamber wall or outer combustion chamber wall;
- welding the first partial segments and the second partial segments to one another to form the gas-turbine combustion chamber.
