Abstract:
A hybrid component (30) having a cast single crystal superalloy portion (32) and an attached powder metallurgy material portion (34). The component may be a blade (30) of a gas turbine engine having a single crystal airfoil section and a powder metallurgy material root section. The powder metallurgy material may extend to form a core (36) within the airfoil section and may include cooling passages 38. The single crystal portion has a relatively simple geometry so that casting yields are optimized. The powder metallurgical portion includes the lower stressed and more complicated geometry sections of the component. A method of forming such a component includes casting the single crystal superalloy portion, then using that portion to form part of the mold for forming the powder metallurgy material portion.
