Abstract
A method for producing an enhanced property integrally bladed rotor includes solution heat treating a stub-containing rotor hub forging; water quenching the solution heat treated stub-containing rotor hub; aging the water quenched stub-containing rotor hub forging; linear friction welding airfoils onto each of a multiple of stubs of the stub-containing rotor hub forging; and concurrently stress relieving the linear friction welds of each of the multiple of stubs within a predefined area while ensuring that a hub inner diameter does not exceed a predetermined temperature.
