Abstract

A rotor blade includes a blade main body having a proximal end connected to the blade root, and a tip shroud connected to a tip end of the blade main body so as to constitute a part of an annular shroud, a tip end side of a leading edge of the blade main body is made continuous to an outside surface of the tip shroud via a curved portion curved toward a trailing edge, fillets are provided between the tip end of the blade main body and an inside surface of the tip shroud, and the curved portion is located closer to the leading edge than the fillets, whereby the turbine rotor blade and the turbo machine can realize weight reduction and suppress performance degradation.
