A disc able to support platforms and blades of a fan, and including an external surface having a succession of grooves for receiving the fan blades and teeth interposed between the grooves to support the fan platforms, an upstream face of the disc, and a plurality of axial protrusions disposed radially around the axis of the disc on the upstream face of the disc, and able to be fastened to a fan platform retaining flange, the protrusions being offset radially toward the interior of the disc relative to the grooves of the disc, and being disposed circumferentially between two teeth of the disc.

An assembly adapted for use in a gas turbine engine or other engine has a carrier component and a blade track segment. The assembly includes a mounting system for coupling the blade track segment to the carrier component. In an illustrative embodiment, the assembly is a turbine shroud segment for blocking gasses from passing over turbine blades included in the gas turbine engine.

A rotor for a gas turbine having a rotor disk on which there are a plurality of rotor components distributed around the circumference. The rotor disk has a circumferential securing shoulder with a contact face. Retaining faces come to bear against the contact face, each of the retaining faces have a retaining shoulder of the respective rotor component and are designed with a form that complements the contact face. In order to optimize the bearing stresses between the retaining shoulder and the securing shoulder, the retaining face has a smaller radius than the contact face, namely the retaining radius is at least 0.99 times and at most 0.995 times the contact radius. Also provided is an axially extending aperture in the rotor component, the width of which in the circumferential direction is 25% to 75% of the rotor component width in the circumferential direction.

A turbine blade includes a blade having a first end, and a second end opposite the first end. A tip is located at an outer radial portion of the blade. A blade dovetail complements a corresponding dovetail slot in a turbine rotor. The dovetail has a body, and a plurality of projections extending from the body in opposing directions for complementing a plurality of recesses in the corresponding dovetail slot. A tapered groove extends through the body from the first end to the second end. The tapered groove has a tapered profile such that a first depth of the tapered groove near the first end is greater than a second depth of the tapered groove near the second end. The tapered profile gradually transitions from the first depth to the second depth, so that the tapered groove is open at a bottom surface and sized to engage a shim.

A turbine, a gas turbine, and a method of disassembling turbine blades, capable of ensuring stable sealing performance as well as facilitating disassembly of turbine blades are provided. The turbine may include a rotor disk including a plurality of slots formed therein, a plurality of turbine blades spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance in a circumferential direction of the rotor disk on an outer peripheral surface, each of the turbine blades being inserted into an associated one of the slots, and a retainer sealing a cooling passage defined between the rotor disk and the turbine blade, wherein the turbine blade includes an airfoil-shaped blade part, a root part inserted into the rotor disk, and a platform part located between the blade part and the root part, and the root part includes a blade hook protruding therefrom to support the retainer.
