Abstract
Disclosed is an integral single-cast multi wall structure including a very thin wall and a second thin wall. There is a passageway interposed between the pair of walls of the structure, and a high thermal conductivity member extends into said passageways and thermally couples the walls. The high thermal conductivity member increases the heat transfer between the walls of the structure. The present invention further includes a method for casting an integral structure having very thin walls that utilizes the high thermally conductive member in the casting process to hold the pattern and cores in alignment.
