ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an assembly for mounting a row of ceramic rotor blades in the metal rotor disc of a gas turbine engine. The major components of the assembly comprise a well known ferritic metal rotor disc in which is mounted, in a conventional fir-tree root configuration, a plurality of high temperature metal alloy or super alloy intermediate members forming an annular array thereof and defining "dog-bone" shaped axial grooves in the annular face for receipt of a complementary "dog-bone" or single serration root of a ceramic blade for mounting an annular array of ceramic blades. The root shank portion and the air foil portion of the blade are separated by a platform and centrifugal-force pins are inserted between adjacent platforms to fix the blade against low frequency vibration and to seal the gap therebetween against leakage of the motive fluid into the root area. The rotor disc is cooled and radial passages are provided in the intermediate members to permit cooling flow therethrough to maintain the temperature gradient through the assembly.
