Abstract

A stator vane for a gas turbine includes a vane airfoil which extends in the longitudinal direction of the vane and which is delimited by a leading edge and a trailing edge, and also an outer platform, the inner side of which is exposed to the hot gas which flows through the gas turbine, and on which provision is made for a hook-like fastening element, projecting outwards in the region of the trailing edge, for fastening the stator vane on a casing of the gas turbine, which fastening element, on its side facing the trailing edge, has a locating slot above the trailing edge for the fixing of a heat shield which adjoins the outer platform of the stator vane in the flow direction of the hot gas. Provision is made on the outer platform of the stator vane between the locating slot and the trailing edge of a structure for reducing the thermal and mechanical stresses in the region of the transition between trailing edge and outer platform.
