Abstract
A turbine shroud has a plurality of shroud segments disposed circumferentially one adjacent to another. Each segment has a flow restrictor projecting integrally from one end face thereof and overlapping a corresponding end face of a circumferentially adjacent segment. The overlap between the circumferentially adjacent segments restricts gas leakage through the inter-segment gap between adjacent shroud segments.
