Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Embodiments of the present disclosure provide turbine buckets (124), turbomachinery, and related methods for identifying bucket deformation. A turbine bucket (124) according to embodiments of the present disclosure can include an airfoil (170) extending radially from a base (160), relative to a rotor axis of a turbomachine (100); and a magnetized material coupled to the airfoil (170) proximal to a radially outer end thereof. To identify bucket deformation, a magnetic sensor (204) can measure a magnetic field strength of the magnetized material, and a computing device (206) in communication with the magnetic sensor (204) can identify the turbine bucket (124) as being one of deformed and non-deformed based on the magnetic field strength of the magnetized material (200).
