<p>A blisk (2) for use in the turbine section of a gas turbine engine comprises a disk (4) around the circumference of which is disposed a plurality of blades (6) in an annular array. The blades (6) are preferably cast separately and then joined, for example by welding, so that the roots (8) form a continuous ring. The remaining volume of the rotor disk (4) is formed of consolidated metal powder by a hot isostatic process. Extending a short distance above each blade root (8) is a shank (16) carrying a platform (18) and the blade airfoil section (20). The dimensions of the platforms (18) in the circumferential direction are such that they co-operate to form a plenum chamber (22) encircling the periphery of the rotor disk. The blades (6) are cast with internal cooling passages (24,26,28) access to which is gained from the plenum (22) through orifices (30,32,24) in the sides of the blade shanks (16). Thus, in use, cooling air may be passed across at least one face of the blisk (4) into the plenum (22) from where it enters the blade cooling passages (24,26,28).</p> |
