Low Frequency Buckets For Industrial Steam Turbines.
Abstract
Bucket failures have been known to occur on the later stages of industrial type steam turbines after prolonged operational life of as much as five or six years. All of these failures are characteristically fatigue in nature. It is the purpose of this paper to discuss the reasons for these failures as related to the operating load and speed of the turbine and to the design of the buckets. Bucket banding can be used to minimize the possibility of failure.
