Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure provide a turbomachine component, including: a base portion configured for mounting on a rotor; an airfoil portion having a first end coupled to the base portion, and a second end opposite the first end. A creep resistance of the airfoil portion is greater than the base portion, and a fracture toughness of the airfoil portion is less than the base portion. A tip portion may be coupled to the second end of the airfoil portion. A creep resistance of the tip portion is less than the airfoil portion and greater than the base portion. A fracture toughness of the tip portion is less than the base portion and greater than the airfoil portion.
