A bucket tip shroud in a gas turbine includes a seal rail having a cutter tooth at one end. Bucket tip shroud creep rate can be reduced by removing the cutter tooth from the bucket tip shroud seal rail after use or with a pre-groove honeycomb shroud. Preferably, the remaining geometry matches a geometry of the seal rail within a predetermined tolerance.
Jan 01, 2000· Positive bucket tip clearance control is afforded by passing a thermal medium about the inner shell in heat transfer relation with the shrouds about the first and second stage bucket tips, the thermal medium being provided from a source of heating/cooling fluid independent of the turbine.

A third-party contractor verified proper tip grinding using the latest UT (ultrasonic test) tools. The combined cycle gas turbines suffered heavy rubs within six months of its COD as was the case at the peaker station. But as the speaker said at the outset, hard rubs are conducive to tip liberations over time.

A weld repair method uses a gas tungsten or plasma arc welding torch and matching filler. An amperage supplied to the torch and a travel speed of the torch are controlled to produce a weld bead having a mushroom shape. The weld bead is ground from all sides to remove at least one half of a thickness of the weld bead, and another weld bead is formed.
