Abstract
A rotor of a thermally loaded turbomachine, in particular of a compressor or a gas turbine, is mounted such that it can rotate about a rotor axis and is concentrically surrounded by a hot-gas duct or cooling-air duct. A significant improvement to the ability of the rotor to withstand thermal loads is achieved, with little increased outlay in terms of materials, by virtue of the fact that the rotor comprises a rotor core made of a first material, that the rotor core is concentrically surrounded by shielding rings made of a second material, which shield the rotor core from the temperature in the hot-gas duct or cooling-air duct, the second material having a higher heat resistance than the first material, and that the shielding rings are cohesively joined to the rotor core.
