ABSTRACT:
A gas turbine engine disk that includes a centrally disposed disk hub having an integrally-formed, radially outwardly extending web terminating at an outer end. The disk hub has a radially-displaced annular hub surface exposed to high pressure, high temperature discharge gases during engine operation. The radially-displaced annular hub surface acts as an axial free surface mitigating the formation undesirable axial stress in the disk hub.
