Gas turbine moving blade

Abstract

Gas turbine moving blade is improved so as to prevent occurrence of cracks caused by thermal stresses due to temperature differences between blade and platform when gas turbine is stopped. In steady operation time of moving blade (20), cooling air (40 to 43) enters cooling passages (23 to 26) to flow through cooling passages (23a, 24a to 24c, 25a to 25c) for cooling the blade (20) to then flow out of the blade (20). Recessed portion (1) having smooth curved surface is provided in platform (22) near blade fitting portion on blade trailing edge side. Fillet (R) of the blade fitting portion on the blade trailing edge side is formed with curved surface having curvature larger than conventional case. Hub slot below the fillet (R) for blowing air is formed having slot cross sectional area larger than other slots of blade trailing edge. TBC is applied to blade (20) surface. By these improvements, thermal stresses due to temperature differences between the blade (20) and the platform (22) in gas turbine stop time are made smaller and occurrence of cracks is prevented.
