ABSTRACT

The disclosure describes a process for eliminating residual stress in a
forging for rotors including providing the forging for the rotor and removing
a bulk material from an area located near airfoils of a finish part formed
from the forging prior to process steps such as a rough turn, a finish mill of
blades, a vibratory polish of the blades and a finish turn.
