Stator vane having reinforced braze joint

摘要

A gas turbine engine stator vane includes a groove extending laterally in an outer surface at one end thereof between leading and trailing edges for receiving a brazing material. The vane may be joined to an arcuate band having a complementary groove extending colinearly with the airfoil groove to collectively define therebetween an enlarged crevice for receiving the brazing material to form a reinforcing pin therein.
