Abstract
Gas turbine engine combustor designs are tending to higher operating temperatures and, therefore, utilisation of high temperature materials such as, for example, ceramics, composite material and high temperature nickel alloys. However use of these materials for combustor components leads, in turn, to problems of how to join together those components. A high temperature material combustor barrel and a similar combustor head heatshield are joined to a metal or metal alloy combustor head by means of a lip around the circumference of the head swaged or rolled onto a lip on the barrel trapping the heatshield between them.
