Abstract
A turbine center frame for a gas turbine having a plurality of first components and a plurality of second components alternately mutually adjacently disposed in circumferential direction and bounding a hot gas-conducting flow channel in radial direction, the first components each having two first overlapping portions, and the second components each having two second overlapping portions. In a transition from a first component to a second component, one of the first overlapping portions and one of the second overlapping portions overlap. A centering element, against which, the first components and the second components are braced along the circumferential direction and in the radial direction, centers the first components and the second components relative to a central axis of the turbine center frame. The first components and the second components are manufactured of a ceramic matrix composite, and each first component and each second component are provided with a first supporting portion and a second supporting portion mutually spaced apart at a distance in the circumferential direction, the first supporting portion and the second supporting portion being configured to act from different sides upon the centering element in the radial direction.
