Abstract
A process for constructing a circular metallic article which includes a hub and a plurality of vanes mounted on the periphery of the hub wherein the vanes are placed in position around the hub, formers are arranged between the blade portions of the vanes, a dimensionally stable belt having a low thermal expansion coefficient is placed circumferentially around the vanes and the formers, and the assembly is subjected to an isostatic compression at the isothermal forging temperature and pressure of the materials of the hub and the vanes such that the vanes are diffusion welded to the hub and the blade portions of the vanes are compressed to shape.
