  • Publication number: 20110280728
    Abstract: A radial-flow turbine wheel for a gas turbine engine includes a Scallop Radius defined between an axis of rotation and the backface between each of the plurality of turbine blades, a Tip Radius defined between the axis of rotation and a tip of each of the plurality of turbine blades such that a Scallop Radius/Tip Radius defines a ratio less than 0.6. This enables a lower temperature scallop region which drives lower transient stresses and increases the Low Cycle Fatigue life of the turbine wheel.
