Abstract
An airfoil includes an airfoil body and a sheath. The airfoil body includes a first metallic material and the sheath includes a second metallic material. An interface connects the sheath to the airfoil body such that the sheath covers a forward edge of the airfoil body to define an airfoil leading edge. The interface includes bulk metallic glass bonding the sheath to the airfoil body.
