Abstract
A thermally loaded component has at least one cooling passage for the flow of a cooling fluid passing through it. In the region of a bend, at least one diverter device for the integral capturing of the flow of the cooling fluid is provided within the cooling passage. The diverter device comprises, over the height of the cooling passage, two diverter parts which are spaced apart from one another. The diverter maybe cast with a notch therein so that during cooling, the diverter breaks into separated portions proximate the notch.
