<p>An abradable seal (40) is provided to improve turbine performance by physically reducing the clearance between a flange portion (28, 30, 32) of the nozzle (34, 36) and an opposed angel wing/seal plate member (14. 16, 18) of the bucket (10). The provision of an abradable seal also mitigates angel wing/seal plate tooth or fin (22,24,26) wear by providing for abradable contact without metal to metal hard rub.</p> |
