  • Patent number: 9920626
    Abstract: A rotor disc (1) for a turbomachine, including a radial flange (2) that includes a plurality of fastening holes (3), and a plurality of scallops (4) forming notches in the flange (2), and being separated by inter-scallop flange portions (7). The flange alternatively has, in its circumferential direction: a fastening hole (3) and an inter-scallop flange portion (7) arranged in the radial extension of the fastening hole (3), and a scallop (4), in such a way that one or more of the scallops (47, 48, 49; 42, 45-47, 48-411, 414) has a volume greater than the volume of each of the other scallops (41-46, 410-414; 41, 43, 44, 412, 413), and one or more of the inter-scallop flange portions (73) has a volume less than the volume of each of the other inter-scallop flange portions (71, 72, 74), in order to balance said disc (1). A turbomachine including that rotor disc and a method for balancing a turbomachine rotor disc are also disclosed.
