Abstract
Fabricating a core of a component (A,B,C) from a stack () of sheets () of material with cutouts (A) in the sheets aligned to form passages () in the core. A casing preform () is then fitted over the core. The preform is processed to form a casing () that brackets at least parts of opposed ends of the stack. Shrinkage of the casing during processing compresses () the sheets together. The preform may slide () over the core, and may be segmented (A,B,C) to fit over the core. A hoop () may be fitted and compressed around the segmented casing (A,B,C).
