ABSTRACT:
A turbine rotor assembly includes a rotor disk, rotor blades joined thereto, and a blade retention plate for axially retaining the blades on the disk. The disk includes an outer rim, an inner hub, and an annular web extending therebetween. An axial extension extends from the web and is spaced radially below a corner of the rim. The blades have dovetails axially disposed in respective dovetail slots in the disk rim. The retention plate includes an outer rim which abuts the disk rim and blade dovetails, an inner hub, and a web extending therebetween. The plate hub has an outer rabbet disposed in abutting contact with the rim corner, and an inner rabbet radially adjoining the axial extension for maintaining abutting contact therewith upon differential radial contraction between the retention plate and the disk which separates the outer rabbet from the rim corner. In one embodiment, the assembly further includes a locking ring disposed between the retention plate and the axial extension for axially trapping the plate adjacent to the disk rim.
