Zusammenfassung:The present application and the resultant patent provide a turbine bucket for a gas turbine engine. The turbine bucket may include an airfoil, a tip shroud positioned radially outward from the airfoil, and a seal rail positioned radially outward from the tip shroud and extending in a generally tangential direction from a first end to a second end of the tip shroud. The seal rail may include a maximum axial thickness at a location positioned between the first end and the second end and offset from the airfoil in the generally tangential direction. The present application and the resultant patent further provide a gas turbine engine and a method for balancing a tip shroud of a turbine bucket of a gas turbine engine.
