Summary:Embodiments of an axially-split radial turbine (20) are provided, as are embodiments of a method (110) for manufacturing an axially-split radial turbine (20). In one embodiment, the method includes the steps of joining a forward bladed ring (94) to a forward disk (96) to produce a forward turbine rotor (50), fabricating (178) an aft turbine rotor (52), and disposing (180) the forward turbine rotor (50) and the aft turbine rotor (52) in an axially-abutting, rotationally-fixed relationship to produce the axially-split radial turbine (20).
