Abstract: A turbine bucket includes a bucket airfoil having a tip shroud with a leading edge comprising two scalloped faces and a trailing edge comprising a third scalloped face defining leading and trailing edge profiles substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X and Y as points 1-41 set forth in Table I. The X and Y values are distances in inches which, when respective points are connected by smooth, continuing arcs define the leading and trailing edge tip shroud scalloped profiles. The tip shroud further has first and second, upper and lower, Z form edge profiles substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X and Y as points 42-59 and 60-77, respectively of Table II.

Abstract: Third stage turbine buckets have airfoil profiles substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z? set forth Table I wherein X and Y values are in inches and the Z? values are non-dimensional values from 0 to 1 convertible to Z distances in inches by multiplying the Z? values by the height of the airfoil in inches. The X and Y values are distances which, when connected by smooth continuing arcs, define airfoil profile sections at each distance Z. The profile sections at each distance Z are joined smoothly to one another to form a complete airfoil shape. The X, Y and Z distances may be scalable as a function of the same constant or number to provide a scaled up or scaled down airfoil section for the bucket. The nominal airfoil given by the X, Y and Z distances lies within an envelope of +/?.0.040 inches in directions normal to the surface of the airfoil.
