Abstract:
1. A fixture assembly for securing at least one side rail to a shroud tile of a gas turbine, the fixture assembly comprising: a first support member, the first support member having an upper portion, a lower portion and a middle portion extending between the upper and lower portions; a second support member spaced apart from the first support member, the second support member having an upper portion, a lower portion and a middle portion extending between the upper and lower portions; a first guide block extending between the upper portion of the first support member and the upper portion of the second support member; and a second guide block extending between the lower portion of the first support member first and the lower portion of the second support member, wherein the first and second guide blocks are formed from a material that has the same or a similar coefficient of thermal expansion as the material used to form at least one of the shroud tile or at least one side rail and the first and second support members are formed from a material that has a lower coefficient of thermal expansion than the material used to form the first and second guide blocks.
