Abstract
A method of fabricating complex, composite components for water-cooled, high temperature gas turbines is provided. The method utilizes hot isostatic pressure with molten glass as a pressure transmitting medium. Metal tubing and cladding are bonded to a component core under conditions such that the ends of the tubing extend above the molten glass whereby the pressure inside and outside of the tubing is maintained at equilibrium to prevent collapsing thereof during the application of hot isostatic pressure.
