Shrouding, with regards to steam turbines, is rolled to the curvature of the blade ends and fitted to the blade __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Understand what shrouding does on a steam turbine blading (ties blade tips together to control vibration and flow) • Know the difference between root, tenon, dovetail, and seal strip in blade construction • Where along the blade length shrouding is typically located (tip vs root)

💭 Think About

• Which part of the blade actually forms the connection into the turbine wheel or rotor? Which choice names that feature? • Is shrouding more associated with holding the blade into the wheel, or with tying neighboring blade ends together at the outer diameter? • Of the four options, which term is specifically used for a mechanical locking/attachment feature at the blade base rather than a sealing component in the flow path?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the difference between blade tip and blade root • Verify which term describes the locking feature at the base of the blade that fits into the rotor or wheel • Eliminate any options that refer mainly to gas/steam sealing surfaces rather than mechanical attachment features
