Abstract
A method of forming and/or assembling a multi-panel outer wall () for a component () in a machine subjected to high thermal stresses comprising providing such a component () that includes an inner panel wall () having an outer surface, and an array of interconnecting ribs () on the outer surface of the component (). An intermediate panel () is provided and preferably preformed to a general outer contour of the component (), and is positioned over the inner panel (). An external pressure force is applied across a surface area of the intermediate panel () against the outer surface of the component () to contour the intermediate panel () according to a geometric configuration formed by the ribs () thereby forming cooling chambers () between the outer surface and ribs () of the component () and the intermediate panel ().
