  • TURBINE NOZZLE ASSEMBLY WITH STRESS RELIEF STRUCTURE FOR MOUNTING RAIL
    Publication number: 20240035388
    Abstract: A turbine nozzle assembly includes at least one airfoil and an outer endwall coupled to a radial outer end of the at least one airfoil. A mounting rail is coupled to the outer endwall and extends at least partially radially outward from the outer endwall and at least partially circumferentially along the outer endwall. A stress relief structure is defined in the mounting rail. The stress relief structure includes an end opening defined in a radial outer surface of the mounting rail, a slot defined through the rail thickness of the mounting rail and coupled to the end opening, and an oblong opening defined through the rail thickness of the mounting rail and coupled to a radial inner end of the slot. The oblong opening is arranged asymmetrically in a circumferential direction relative to the slot to relieve stress where prevalent in the mounting rail.
