Abstract
A shroud segment is incorporated in a gas turbine engine so as to suppress influence of hot combustion gas on a turbine case which has a groove and a hook for engagement with the shroud segment. The shroud segment is provided with a back plate formed in an arc shape, a front end of the back plate being supported by the groove so as to allow displacement in an axial direction of the gas turbine engine, a slot circumferentially formed on an outer surface of the back plate, the slot being engaged with the hook so as to be immovable in the axial direction and a touching member integrally formed on an inner surface of the back plate for touching with a rotating turbine blade. The slot is configured so as to satisfy an inequality of v<t≦(v+0.1 mm), where v is a length of the hook and t is a width of the slot.
