Third-stage buckets do not require forced-air cooling. Second-and third-stage buckets have integral tip shrouds that interlock the airfoils to provide vibration damping; they also have seal teeth to reduce leakage flow. Buckets are attached to the wheel with fir-tree dovetails that fit into matching cutouts in the rim of the turbine wheels.

All of our tip measurement systems are used for measuring tip clearance gaps between compressor and turbine blade tips and the engine inner casing. The ROTAGAGE rotor inspection system is used for measuring individual rotor blade radii on the production of gas turbine engines and compressors during the blade tip grinding process.
Hydro-abrasive erosion in hydraulic turbines leads to reduced turbine efficiency and may entail cavitation. The splitter, responsible for smooth bifurcation of jet, located in the middle plane of each bucket is particularly relevant for turbine efficiency [].With reduced efficiency and eventual outages of HPPs, the electricity generation and revenues are reduced.

Long-Life Grinding Bits for Nonmetals. The diamond abrasive in these bits is extremely hard and lasts longer than tungsten carbide. For longer tool life and improved finish, use a water- or oil-soluble mist or coolant.
Pelton Wheel Turbine is the type of impulse or hydraulic turbine which is used for high heads for the generation of power. In this, the jet after leaving the nozzle runs in the open air and strikes the bucket or vane. The Pelton wheel turbine is developed by Lester Allan Pelton, who is an American Engineer.

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.
