Features
IN-738 Material Applicability
IN-738 is one of a very small class of modern super alloys that This offering is intended for use with frame 9E gas turbines.
offers an outstanding combination of elevated temperature
strength and hot corrosion resistance. This super alloy was the
first cast bucket material used by GE in our heavy-duty gas turbine.

Cutter Teeth
The new stage 3 bucket design includes “cutter teeth” on the
bucket tip shroud rails. The design cuts a slot in the honeycomb
seal material on the stage 3 shroud block with no metal transfer to
the bucket. This allows new shroud blocks with honeycomb seals
to be installed.
