Abstract

A turbine moving blade has a blade portion extending from the basal portion to the tip of the moving blade. The blade root portion is formed at the basal portion of the blade portion and engaged with a corresponding disk groove of a turbine rotor on a one-by-one basis, and the integral cover is formed at the tip of the blade portion integrally with the blade portion. The integral cover includes at least a pair of pressure and suction sloped surfaces inclined relative to the direction of the rotational axis of a turbine so as to restrain the elastic restoring force of the moving blade torsionally deformed at the time of installation of the moving blade by bringing the integral covers of mutually adjacent blades into contact.
