The turbomachine has a housing structure surrounding an annular flow channel. Rotating vanes are rotatably accommodated in the structure. Guide vanes are stationarily accommodated in the structure. The vanes are arranged in the channel. The guide vanes form an annular guide vane ring. The structure includes a seal (18) in a region of a radial inner flow channel boundary for sealing against hot gas output from the channel. The seal is arranged at bases (6) of the guide vanes above a seal mount (17), and sealed against a rotatable sealing surface. The mount is made of an intermetallic material. An independent claim is also included for a method for manufacturing a seal mount.
