Abstract

A cast component having reduced cross flow linking cavities and method of casting may include a body. The body may define a plurality of internal flow channels. The plurality of internal flow channels may include a first internal flow channel and a second internal flow channel. The cast component may also include a plurality of linking cavities obstructing unintended fluid communication between the first internal flow channel and the second internal flow channel through the plurality of linking cavities.
