ABSTRACT:
A fabricated gas turbine engine component and method of manufacturing. In one embodiment the component having a structural member with a cover member metalurgically bonded thereto. The bonding of the cover member being controlled by an apparatus that sequentially applies a substantially non-unifrom bonding load across the components radius of curvature. The patterns utilized in the casting process are formed in one embodiment to a precision preformed geometry by a closed die forming operation.
