Abstract
A turbine wheel for a hydrokinetic torque converter. The turbine wheel is rotatable about a rotational axis and comprises an annular turbine shell member coaxial with the rotational axis and made of metallic material, and a plurality of turbine blades. The turbine shell member has an axially inner peripheral surface and an axially outer peripheral surface axially opposite to the axially inner peripheral surface. The turbine blades extend from the axially inner peripheral surface of the turbine shell member. The turbine blades are made of polymeric material as a single-piece component and are directly non-moveably secured to the turbine shell member.
