  • Patent number: 11236620
    Abstract: Turbine blade tip shroud surface profiles are disclosed. Embodiments of the tip shroud include a pair of opposed, axially extending wings configured to couple to an airfoil at a radially outer end of the airfoil. The tip shroud also includes a tip rail extending radially from the pair of opposed, axially extending wings. Tip shroud surface profiles may be of the downstream and/or upstream side of the tip rail, a leading and/or trailing Z-notch of the tip shroud, and/or downstream and/or upstream side radially outer surfaces of wings of the tip shroud. The surface profiles are stated as shapes having a nominal profile substantially in accordance with at least part of Cartesian coordinate values of X and Y, and perhaps Z and a thickness, set forth in a respective table.
