Abstract: A lightweight, composite structural element for turbo engines, includes a thin metallic shell and a metallic core structure, of which a large proportion of the volume is empty space, the shell and the core structure being rigidly connected to each other. The core structure has a spatial, felt-like and/or mesh-like construction and is made of one or more wires, strips, shavings, or comparable elements. The core structure is sintered together, and sintered to the shell.
Abstract: A rotor for a turbomachine, having at least two bladed stages, the discs of which are detachably connected to one another, in which rotor, in order to avoid notch locations in the highly stressed discs, a first disc, at least at one side face, has a first flange which is connected to or restrained with a second flange of an adjacent disc by bolts.
