Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of manufacturing a turbine disk involves machining to an initial form a slot in a turbine disk using a firm cutting tool. An intermediate form is then machined using a second cutting tool different from the first cutting tool. A final form using a third cutting tool different from the first cutting tool and the second cutting tool is then machined.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A method of manufacturing a turbine disk, comprising the steps of: a) machining a slot to an initial form in a turbine disk using a first end mill; b) machining the slot to an intermediate form using a second end mill different from the first end mill, at least one of the first end mill and the second end mill being configured with a flute that defines a cutting edge; and c) machining the slot to a final form using a third end mill different from the first end mil…
