Discussion
Turbine buckets for each stage are attached to their wheels by straight, axial entry, ***multiple tang dovetails*** that fit into matching cutouts in the turbine wheel rims. Bucket vanes are connected to their dovetails by means of shanks. These shanks locate the bucket-to-wheel attachment at a significant distance from the hot gases, reducing the temperature at the dovetail. The turbine rotor assembly is arranged so that the buckets can be replaced without unstacking the wheels, spacers, and wheel shaft assemblies.
