Abstract
A wheel is constructed from a disk disposed for rotation about an axis and a ring with a plurality of blades being connectable to the disk. The wheel is operable for pumping, compressing, or expanding fluid in a turbomachine. The disk is configured to receive at least a portion of the ring within the disk and be coupled using a protrusion or protrusions. The protrusion can be configured to prevent relative movement between the disk and the ring. In some forms a bracket can be extended between the ring and disk to prevent relative movement.
