Abstract
Methods of fabricating reduced weight components for apparatuses include providing a plurality of layers from a component core including a relatively lightweight material to an outer layer including a relatively heavyweight material heavier in weight than the relatively lightweight material, the plurality of layers having increasingly higher proportions of the relatively heavyweight material than the relatively lightweight material from the component core to the outer layer; and diffusion bonding the plurality of layers and the outer layer by consolidation of the layers.
