Abstract

The invention relates to a heat shield block, particularly for lining a combustion chamber wall, with a hot side that can be subjected to the action of hot medium and with a wall side situated opposite the hot side. A core area, which has a core material, extends inside the heat shield block from the hot side to the wall side. The core area is surrounded by an edge area with an edge material whose heat conductivity is lower than that of the core material. This targeted thermal insulation in the edge area provided in the form of a material bond between the core material and the edge material renders the heat shield block particularly unsusceptible to the formation and growth of cracks in the core area on the hot side. The invention also relates to a combustion chamber provided with heat shield blocks of the aforementioned type, and to a gas turbine provided with a combustion chamber comprising such a heat shield block.
