Abstract:
A gas turbine engine includes an axial compressor which includes a rotor assembly including a first rotor segment with a first inner rim, a first sealing surface, and a first aft engagement feature, and a second rotor segment positioned aft of the first rotor segment and having a second inner rim, a second sealing surface, and a second inner rim with a second fore engagement feature that is complementary to the first aft engagement feature. The first and second sealing surfaces are complementary to each other, and are bonded together via a transient liquid phase diffusion process. The first and second sealing surfaces are disposed on the outer rim. The first aft engagement member may be a notch that is complementary to the second fore engagement feature, which may be a shelf.
