Abstract
A vibration damper for use in a turbine rotor of a high temperature gas turbine is disclosed. The damper is loosely mounted in an opening formed between adjacent blade rails, the end of the rotor disk connector, and sections of adjacent blade necks between the rails and the disk connector. A cover plate positioned against one side of the turbine blade and a projection extending downwardly from the other side of the turbine blade confines the damper axially in the opening.
