ARTICLE INCLUDING A WELD JOINT
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of forming an article, comprising:
- forming a wrought first part having a first edge defined at an intersection of first and second surfaces where the first and second surfaces form a first angle;
casting a second part having a second edge defined at an intersection of third and fourth surfaces where the third and fourth surfaces form a second angle which is different from the first angle; and
electron beam welding the first surface and the third surface.

Abstract
An article is provided and includes a first part having a first edge defined at an intersection of first and second surfaces where the first and second surfaces form a first angle, a second part having a second edge defined at an intersection of third and fourth surfaces where the third and fourth surfaces form a second angle which is different from the first angle and a weld joint formed at locations where the first surface contacts the third surface.

4. A method of forming an article, the method comprising:
-
forming a first annular wrought part having first and second surfaces and a first edge defined at an intersection of the first and second surfaces, the first surface being an annular, radially outwardly facing surface; casting a second annular part having third and fourth surfaces and a second edge defined at an intersection of the third and fourth surfaces, the third surface being an annular, radially inwardly facing surface; and electron beam welding the first surface and the third surface to form an annular weld joint at locations where the first surface contacts the third surface such that the weld joint is disposed at a junction of the first part and the second part and the second and fourth surfaces are disposed at an angle with respect to one another. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
