Abstract

The present invention is a turbine bucket for at the low pressure last stage of a steam turbine and in which the adjacent blades are connected without using a connecting member at a blade intermediate portion. A turbine bucket of the present invention is formed that the blade sectional configuration is twisted from a blade root portion to a blade tip side, and when assuming two axial directions in a blade section of the bucket on horizontal plane and taking one axial direction as X axis and the other axial direction perpendicular to X axis as Y axis, the blade sections at predetermined heights from the blade root portion of the turbine bucket are formed in a range of ±0.3 mm from respective points defining blade section configurations.
