Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A turbine bucket includes a radially inner mounting portion; a shank radially outward of the mounting portion; at least one radially outer airfoil having a leading edge and a trailing edge; a substantially planar platform radially between the shank and the at least one radially outer airfoil; at least one axially-extending angel wing seal flange on a leading end of the shank thus forming a circumferentially extending trench cavity along the leading end of the shank, radially between an underside of the platform leading edge and a radially outer side of the angel wing seal flange; and slash faces along opposite, circumferentially-spaced side edges of the platform. At least one of the slash faces is formed with a dog-leg shape, a leading end of the at least one of slash face terminating at a location circumferentially offset from the leading edge of the at least one radially outer airfoil.
