A program was undertaken to evaluate the relative shapemaking capabilities of metal can plus HIP and Crucible's ceramic mold plus HIP methods. Using a small but complex disk/shaft assembly, it was shown that the ceramic mold approach afforded the greatest potential for very complex shapes. This process was then scaled to produce a third stage turbine disk for the F-102 engine. Properties of the HIP plus heat-treated PA-101 alloy met or exceeded the program goals and a weight savings of 70 lb (32 kg) was demonstrated.
