Abstract (en)

According to one aspect of the invention, a turbine assembly includes a first bucket with a first slashface and a second bucket (204) including a recess (224) formed in a second slashface (216) of the second bucket, wherein the second slashface is adjacent to the first slashface when the first bucket is positioned adjacent to the second bucket. The turbine assembly also includes a pin (206) configured to be placed in the recess, wherein the pin is magnetically urged toward the first slashface to reduce fluid flow between the first and second buckets.
