  • Patent number: 4663241
    Abstract: Disclosed is a gas turbine disk made from powder metal, wherein the bore has improved fatigue life compared to conventional articles because the bore is formed from a fine fraction of powder separated from a lot of conventional powder metal suitable for hot isostatic compaction. The outer and rim portions of the disk, which are less prone to fatigue failure, are made from the remainder of the lot but nonetheless have no more limited performance from that resulting when a unitary unseparated powder lot is used. Improved bore fatigue properties result because the coarse fatigue failure-causing nonmetallic inclusions are biased into the outer portions of the disk where they do not have adverse effect.
