Abstract:
A turbine blade includes an airfoil having a tip shroud. The tip shroud has an edge, and the edge has a profile substantially in accordance with values of X and Y in a Cartesian coordinate system set forth in Table 1 at points 1-30. The X and Y values represent distances that may be proportionally scaled by a common multiplier which, once scaled and connected, define the profile of the edge of the tip shroud. The profile of the edge lies in an envelope within +/−20%, +/−10% or +/−0% in a direction normal to any location along the edge set forth by the points in Table 1.
Abstract:
A bucket tip shroud measurement fixture includes a frame extending from a first end to a second end through an intermediate portion having a first surface and an opposing second surface, a first tip shroud fixing member extending from the second surface of the frame at the first end, and a second tip shroud fixing member extending from the second surface of the frame at the second end. The first and second tip shroud fixing members are configured and disposed to retain and establish an orientation of a bucket tip shroud relative the frame. A plurality of reference points are provided on the frame. The plurality of reference points are configured and disposed to receive a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) probe.

Abstract:
A turbine engine, bucket and method for modifying an airfoil shroud of turbine bucket is disclosed. A reference location is located in a second end edge of the airfoil shroud proximate a seal rail of the airfoil shroud. A relief cut is formed in the airfoil shroud to remove the reference location. Additionally, another reference location may be located in a first end edge of the airfoil shroud proximate the seal rail. Another relief cut may be formed in the airfoil shroud to remove the other reference location.
