PRODUCT SHEET
Frame 5001 NT Buckets
New Technology for Stage 1 and Stage 2 Turbines
Years of experience servicing turbine buckets throughout
their life cycle, and our in-depth knowledge of gas turbine
components, give TurboCare a unique insight into designing a
high-quality product compatible with the original equipment.
In-house design and manufacturing capabilities, round-
theclock coverage, and an experienced staff of design
engineers, seamlessly integrate to meet your operating
requirements.
TurboCare designed buckets, installed with TurboCare
designed nozzles, allow the opportunity to upgrade your
Frame 5 to slightly higher firing temperature, thus increasing
performance.
CUSTOMER BENEFITS
First-Stage Buckets:
• Higherfiring temperatures. We work with you to boost the
output of your old turbine through metallurgical alternatives, TurboCare re-engineered the 1st stage
improvements to blade airfoil dynamics, advanced sealing, turbine bucket to operate at up to 1765°
and advanced coating technologies. F (963° C), using TurboCare proprietary

life, thus increasing the life-cycle of the
component, whether installed in base-
load and peak applications throughout a
wide range of fuel types and operational
conditions. The d-slot is retained to
allow the seamless interchangeability
within the lower classed turbines.
Second-Stage Buckets:
TurboCare re-engineered 2nd stage
bucket incorporates the cutter tooth
design, which is used for improved
sealing and dampening with honeycomb upgraded
shroud blocks. As with the 1st stage bucket, this design
must have a wheel which will accomodate the long shank configuration,
and may be interchangeable on previous designed Frame 5 type gas
turbines. TurboCare applies a hard surface on the Z-notch of the shroud,
and offers as an option a MCrAlY coating on the airfoil.
