An annular air baffle for use in a cavity of an annular rotatable gas turbine engine component includes an annular split baffle ring having a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart and radially inwardly extending intermediate dams circumferentially disposed between first and second end dams. The intermediate dams and the first and second end dams extend radially inwardly from a continuous annular section. Voids are disposed between the intermediate dams and between the first and second end dams and adjacent ones of the intermediate dams. The voids are located radially inwardly of the continuous annular section and are formed by removing material from a split rolled ring rolled from barstock or a rod.

A component as claimed in claim 7 further comprising the barstock or the rod being cylindrical and the voids having radially outer cylindrical surfaces along the continuous annular section. 9. A component as claimed in claim 8 further comprising the intermediate dams having clockwise and counterclockwise facing surfaces at circumferential ends of the voids. 10. A component as claimed in claim 9 further comprising the clockwise and counterclockwise facing surfaces being curved. 11. A component as claimed in claim 9 further comprising: the clockwise and counterclockwise facing surfaces being circular, arcs of curvature of the clockwise and counterclockwise facing surfaces, and the arcs of curvature being defined by a radius of curvature and being substantially tangential to the outer cylindrical surfaces of continuous annular section. 12. A component as claimed in claim 11 further comprising the intermediate dams having radially inner torroidal surfaces. 13. A high pressure turbine assembly comprising: high pressure turbine first and second stage disk assemblies circumscribed about a centerline, the first and second stage disk assemblies including first and second disks having first and second rims supporting first and second turbine blades, respectively, first and second webs extending radially inwardly from the first and second rims, to first and second hubs, respectively, a conical connection to a cylindrical shaft extending axially forwardly from the first hub of the disk, an annular cavity between the conical connection to the cylindrical shaft and the first hub, the cavity closed at a radially outer diameter and open at a radially inner diameter of the first hub, an annular air baffle disposed within the cavity, the air baffle including an annular split baffle ring having a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart and radially inwardly extending intermediate dams circumferentially disposed between first and second end dams, the intermediate dams and the first and second end dams extending radially inwardly from a continuous annular section, voids disposed between the intermediate dams and between the first and second end dams and adjacent ones of the intermediate dams, the voids being located radially inwardly of the continuous annular section, and the voids having been formed by removing material from a split rolled ring rolled from barstock or a rod. 14.

An assembly as claimed in claim 17 further comprising the intermediate dams having radially inner torroidal surfaces. 19. A method to make an annular air baffle comprising: barstock or a rod is rolled to form a split rolled ring, material is removed from the rolled ring to form a split baffle ring having a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart and radially inwardly extending intermediate dams circumferentially disposed between first and second end dams and extending radially inwardly from a continuous annular section of the split baffle ring, and the material is removed from the rolled ring to further form voids disposed between the intermediate dams and between the first and second end dams and adjacent ones of the intermediate dams, the voids being located radially inwardly of the continuous annular section.
