A flange (20) for connection between an axial compressor and high-pressure rotor disc unit (14) in a gas turbine (10), wherein the flange (20) has a body (22) with a frusto-conical shape which is joined to a shaft (12) of the axial compressor by means of a hub (24) which has a cylindrical shape and which, at the larger base of the frustum of the cone of the body (22) is connected to the rotor disc unit (14) by means of an extension (26) of the hub in the form of a circular ring, a circumferential recess (28) provided in a surface (29) of the extension (26) which faces the rotor disc unit (14) being connected by interference with a projection, which is complementary to the recess and is provided on the rotor disc unit (14); the body (22) has an outer generatrix which is inclined relative to the direction at right-angles to the axis (X) by an angle α1 of between 25° and 35° and an inner generatrix which is inclined by an angle α2 of between 12° and 18°.
A flange for connection between an axial compressor and a high-pressure rotor disc unit in a gas turbine, said flange including a body having a frusto-conical shape, said body being joined to a shaft rotatable about a machine axis of said axial compressor by a hub having a cylindrical shape, said body being joined at a larger base of the frusto-conically-shaped body to said rotor disc unit by an extension of the hub in the form of a circular ring, said extension having a circumferential recess provided in a surface of said extension facing said rotor disc unit for connecting by interference with a projection complementary to the recess and provided on the rotor disc unit, said frusto-conically-shaped body having an outer generatrix inclined relative to a direction at right angles to the machine axis by an angle α2 between 25° and 35°, said frusto-conical body having an inner generatrix inclined relative to the direction at right angles to the machine axis by an angle α2 between 12° and 18°.
