  • Patent number: 6846160
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a turbine bucket to be provided at the low pressure last stage of a steam turbine and an object of the present invention is to provide a turbine bucket in which the adjacent blades are connected without using a connecting member at a blade intermediate portion. In order to achieve the object of the present invention, a turbine bucket of the present invention is formed in such a manner that the blade sectional configuration is twisted from a blade root portion to a blade tip side, and when assuming two axial directions in a blade section of the bucket on horizontal plane and taking one axial direction as X axis and the other axial direction perpendicular to X axis as Y axis, the blade sections at predetermined heights from the blade root portion of the turbine bucket are formed in a range of ±0.3 mm from respective points defining blade section configurations as shown respectively in chart 1, chart 4, chart 7, chart 10, chart 13, chart 16 and chart 18.

  • Patent number: 5829955
    Abstract: A steam turbine is provided with moving blades which are affected less by erosion and fretting wear due to water and have a high reliability in strength. The moving blades are twisted moving blades, each provided with a blade portion and a shroud portion formed at its tip and a contact surface between shroud portions connecting adjacent moving blades whereby an extension plane of the contact surface toward the blade back side does not intersect with the blade tip of the blade back side shroud portion.
