Zusammenfassung:A turbine vane array (10) for a combustion assembly (8) in a combustion turbine engine. The vane array (10) includes a plurality of stationary vane assemblies (12), each vane assembly (12) including at least one airfoil (24) and inner and outer shroud segments (26, 28) attached to opposing ends of the airfoil (24). The inner and outer shroud segments (26, 28) each include an inner face (34, 36) facing toward a gas path (13) extending through the vane array (10). A removable cover structure may be provided on the inner faces (34, 36) of the inner and outer shroud segments (26, 28). The cover structure may include removably attached insert elements (72, 72') that are positioned on the inner faces (34, 36) extending between upstream edges (44) and downstream edges (46) of the shroud segments (26, 28) and extending between adjacent airfoils (24).
