Abstract
In a turbine rotor composed of a ceramic turbine blade and a metal shaft with an end to be machined, martensite stainless steel or martensite heat-resistant steel which can be hardened in a gas or vacuum after having been heated beyond the quenching temperature thereof is used as the metal. The ceramic blade and the metal shaft are heat-connected by brazing or shrinkage fit at 800.degree. C., or more. The metal shaft hardened through the heat-connection is tempered only at the end to be machined or the metal shaft heated to the quenching temperature is quench hardened only in part other than the end to be machined, thus facilitating the machining of the metal shaft locally which keeping the remaining part thereof in a quench hardened condition.
