Abstract
An air cooled integrally bladed rotor with single crystals turbine rotor blades having cooling air passages formed into an equiax rotor disk, where a mold having expendable Molybdenum tooling and reusable molybdenum tooling is used to form the IBR. An annular blade ring with openings is used to secure the single crystal rotor blades within the mold, and a number of tube tools are inserted into a bottom end of each blade that forms a cooling air supply passage within the rotor disk. Two molybdenum circular shaped hubs are used to secure a bottom end of the tube tools with the mold. The mold is filled with metal powder and high pressure is used to solidify the powder to form the IBR. Expendable tooling is removed using sublimation when exposed to oxygen. Reusable tooling is reused to form additional IBRs.
