Abstract:
A method of forming a component includes coupling a jacket around at least a portion of a precursor component to form a jacketed precursor component. The jacket is shaped to correspond to a net shape of an outer surface of the component. A mold is formed around the jacketed precursor component. A component material in a fluid state is introduced into a jacketed cavity defined in the mold to form the component. The jacketed cavity is defined in a space at least partially created by removal of the precursor component from the jacketed precursor component.
