Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A turbine for a torque converter is provided. The turbine includes a turbine blade including a first turbine blade tab and a turbine shell including an inner surface for supporting the turbine blades and an outer surface opposite the inner surface. The turbine shell includes a first slot passing through the turbine shell from the inner surface to the outer surface and a first recess extending from the outer surface toward the inner surface adjacent to the first slot. The first turbine blade tab connects the turbine blade to the turbine shell by passing through the first slot and being bent into the first recess. A method of forming a turbine for a torque converter is also provided.
