Abstract
A rotor ( ) for a turbomachine, comprising at least one first, preferably disk-like rotor section ( ), which is exposed to high operating temperatures and consists of a particularly creep-resistant material, in particular a nickel-based alloy, and at least one second, preferably disk-like rotor section ( ), which is exposed to lower operating temperatures and consists of a less creep-resistant material, in particular steel, the first and second rotor sections ( ) being joined to one another by welding. In a rotor of this type, a crack-free welded joint is achieved by the fact that, to join the two rotor sections ( ), a transition region ( ) is arranged between the two rotor sections ( ), which transition region is produced by powder metallurgy, is welded to one of the two rotor sections ( ) at least on one side, and on this side has the same composition as the rotor section to which it is welded.
