<p>In one aspect the invention provides a friction welded component, and a method of manufacture for such a component, comprising a pair of upstanding tubular members (6,8) which are friction welded at their respective end cross-sections, in coaxial concentric relationship, to a surface of a thin walled member (4). A reinforcement means (10) is provided in the region between the tubular members such that loads acting on the tubular members are more evenly distributed to the thin walled member. The wall thickness of the thin walled member is substantially the same as or greater than the wall thickness of the tubular members The invention finds particular application in the fabrication of bosses to gas turbine aero-engine casings.</p> |
