Abstract
The invention concerns a high-temperature component (1) made from ceramic material with channels through which gases can flow and with connection elements (2, 2', 3, 3') provided to allow the supply and discharge of gases; the connection elements (2, 2', 3, 3') are forced onto the surfaces of the high-temperature components (1) by mechanical contact pressure. It is proposed that the contact pressure should be applied by means which are substantially not adversely affected by high temperatures in the hightemperature component (1).
