A formed rotary cutting tool includes a cutting edge defining a cutting edge diameter that is increased and reduced in a direction of an axis of the tool, so as to have at least one neck portion in which the cutting edge diameter is minimized. The cutting tool includes a roughing portion which is provided on a periphery thereof and which is constituted by a succession of protrusions and recesses arranged in the direction of the axis. The roughing portion includes (i) a fine roughing portion that is provided in at least one of the at least one neck portion, and (ii) another portion that is provided in a portion that is other than the at least one of the at least one neck portion. The fine roughing portion of the roughing portion is different in characteristics from the above-described another portion of the roughing portion.

A method for manufacturing a thin-walled part having curved surfaces, in particular a turbine blade by a machine tool comprising roughing process and semi-finishing process. At least one of the roughing process and the semi-finishing process is accomplished by flank milling.

A double-row slot plunge milling processing method for integral impellers, which comprises planning a double-row plunge milling cutter path along two side blades of an impeller flow channel; a cutter arrangement sequence of the cutter path following the direction of an inlet and outlet of the flow channel; determining cutter diameter according to the width of a bottom portion of a cross-section of the flow channel and segmenting the flow channel, the width of a bottom portion of the cross-section of each segmented flow channel being greater than one times the cutter diameter and smaller than two times the cutter diameter. Compared with existing methods for layer cutting of high feed, the present invention can increase rough-processing efficiency of integral impellers by more than 50%, while facilitating the elimination of plunge milling cutter bumping, and effectively reducing redundant cutter paths; the implementation process being simple and facilitating CAM software integration.

A gas turbine engine rotor disk includes a web that extends inward in a radial direction from a rim to a bore that circumscribes an axis. An annular ridge extends axially from the side of the web. A balancing cut is in the annular ridge that includes a fillet that extends in the radial direction.

A rotor disk includes a web that extends in a radial direction from a rim on a radially outer end to a bore on a radially inner end. The web includes a mismatch protrusion on a first axially facing surface of the web. A balancing protrusion is on a second axially facing surface of the web.

A method of forming a curved slot in a turbine disk includes the steps of forming a pre-slot in the turbine disk and finishing the pre-slot to form a slot that receives a portion of a turbine blade. The turbine disk including a first face, an opposing second face, and an outer perimeter surface extending between the first face and the opposing second face. The pre-slot includes a first curved wall and a second curved wall that each extend between the first face and the opposing second face. An intersection between the outer perimeter surface and each of the first curved wall and the second curved wall is defined by a curved line.

A milling device is provided, having a milling tool that rotates about a tool rotation axis, wherein the milling device has a slide, and in that the milling tool is held on a pivot axis that extends transversely, in particular perpendicular, to the tool rotation axis and through the slide, wherein the slide is designed and the position of the milling tool is selected such that, during milling, a traversing movement is effected by manually moving the slide and advance is effected by pivoting the milling tool about the pivot axis. Also provided is a method for milling within a slot of a component, in particular within a blade root receiving slot of a turbomachine, using a milling device.
