Abstract
A component comprising a first concentric element and a second concentric element is disclosed. The first and second concentric elements are positioned relative to each other in the positions in which they are to be bonded together. The first concentric element comprises a first bonding portion (48) with a first bonding face (50), and the second concentric element comprises a second bonding portion (58) with a second bonding face (60), a first passage (62), and a second passage (64). The second bonding portion (58) partially surrounds the first bonding portion (48) and the first and second bonding faces (50, 60) face each other. The first and second bonding faces (50, 60) comprise a first and second void face (56, 61) respectively. Collectively the first and second bonding faces (50, 60) comprise an alpha plug (52) having an alpha plug face, a beta plug (54) having a beta plug face, an alpha bearing face, and a beta bearing face, in which the alpha plug face is in sliding contact with the alpha bearing face and the beta plug face is in sliding contact with the beta baring face, the alpha plug (52) is integral with one of the first or second void faces (56, 61) and the alpha bearing…
