G.E.® Stage 2 High Pressure Turbine Shroud Segment 5099T09P04

The shroud segment is a semicircular structure that acts as a structural support connecting one stage bucket to another for vibration damping and helps contain the flow of gas so that it is utilized efficiently. The shroud segment forms a continuous annular ring around the turbine blades, thus enclosing the working fluid passage. The high-pressure turbine shroud encloses the blade tip, thus preventing excessive leakage of the working gas and reducing blade-flutter, improving the efficiency and performance of the turbine.
The shroud incorporates cooling air channels, protecting the shroud from high temperature damage. Manufactured from super alloys, the shroud has excellent thermal and fatigue-resistant properties. Overall, part number 5099T09P04 plays a crucial role in the reliable operation of the gas turbine.
