ABSTRACT:
A new high-strength titanium-based alloy bucket specifically suited for use as the last stage buckets in steam turbine engines having vane lengths of about 40 inches or greater and the method for forming such bucket. Exemplary buckets according to the invention are formed from a titanium-based alloy containing up to about 6.25% aluminum; (b) about to 3.5% vanadium; (c) about 2.25% tin, (d) about 2.25% zirconium, (e) about 1.75% molybdenum, (f) about 2.25% chromium, (g) about 0.7% silicon; and (h) about 2.3% iron, with the balance being titanium. After forming, the bucket can be heat treated to provide stress relief and then machined in a conventional manner.
