Abstract: According to an embodiment, a rotor blade cover section is integrated with the rotor blades at leading ends thereof. A plurality of sealing fins is disposed at the rotor blade cover section, the sealing fins forming a predetermined clearance relative to an inner peripheral portion of the nozzle outer ring. An annular solid particle trapping space is disposed at the inner peripheral portion of the nozzle outer ring, the solid particle trapping space communicating with an inlet of a steam leak and trapping solid particles that flow in with steam. In the sealing structure, the nozzle outer ring has a through hole through which the solid particles are to be discharged from the solid particle trapping space toward a downstream stage of the steam turbine.

Abstract: A turbine rotor assembly 10 comprises a turbine rotor and a plurality of moving blades 20 implanted in a circumferential direction of the rotor. A flow passage is formed between each of the moving blades 20 and a circumferentially adjacent moving blade 20. Each of the moving blades 20 comprises a suction side connecting member 22 protruded on a blade suction surface 21 and a pressure side connecting member 24 protruded on a blade pressure surface 23, wherein the suction side connecting member 22 of each of the moving blades 20 is configured to be connected with the pressure side connecting member 24 of the circumferentially adjacent moving blade 20 to form an intermediate connecting member 30 between the moving blade 20 and the circumferentially adjacent moving blade 20 during a rotation of the turbine rotor. A downstream side end edge 32 of the intermediate connecting member 30 is positioned at an upstream side of a throat S of the flow passage.

Abstract: A movable blade of a turbine, which has a plurality of stages each provided with movable and stationary blades mounted to a turbine rotor, comprises a movable blade body having a leading edge portion, with respect to a turbine steam flow, and an erosion protective piece which is formed to be continuously integrally with the leading edge portion of the movable blade body so as to be protruded therefrom. The leading edge portion and the erosion protective piece are subjected to a surface hardening treatment such as flame hardening treatment.
