A method of forming a component having an internal passage defined therein includes positioning a jacketed core with respect to a mold. The jacketed core includes a hollow structure formed from a first material, and an inner core formed from an inner core material disposed within the hollow structure. The method also includes introducing a component material in a molten state into a cavity of the mold, such that the component material in the molten state at least partially absorbs the first material from a portion of the jacketed core within the cavity. The method further includes cooling the component material in the cavity to form the component, and removing the inner core material from the component to form the internal passage.

1. A method of forming a component having an internal passage defined therein, said method comprising: pre-forming a hollow structure to correspond to a selected nonlinear shape of the internal passage, wherein the selected nonlinear shape is complementary to an axial twist of the component, wherein the hollow structure is formed from a first material, and wherein the component includes one of a rotor blade and a stator vane;after providing the hollow structure, filling the hollow structure with an inner core material to form a jacketed core;positioning the jacketed core with respect to a mold;introducing a component material in a molten state into a cavity of the mold, such that the component material in the molten state at least partially absorbs the first material from a portion of the jacketed core within the cavity;cooling the component material in the cavity to form the component, wherein the component material solidifies to include the at least partially absorbed first material; andremoving the inner core material from the component to form the internal passage. 2. The method of claim 1 further comprising securing the jacketed core relative to the mold such that the jacketed core remains fixed relative to the mold during said introducing and said cooling the component material. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein said removing the inner core material from the component comprises removing the inner core material from the component without degrading the component material. 4. A method of forming a component having an internal passage defined therein, said method comprising: providing a hollow structure, wherein the hollow structure is formed from a first material;after providing the hollow structure, filling the hollow structure with an inner core material to form a jacketed core, wherein the inner core material forms an inner core, and wherein an exterior surface of the inner core has at least one recessed feature;positioning the jacketed core with respect to a mold;introducing a component material in a molten state into a cavity of the mold, such that the component material in the molten state at least partially absorbs the first material from a portion of the jacketed core within the cavity;cooling the component material in the cavity to form the component, wherein the component material solidifies to include the at least partially absorbed first material; andremoving the inner core material from the component to form the internal passage having at least one passage wall feature complementary to the shape of the at least one recessed feature. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein said providing the hollow structure comprises pre-forming the hollow structure to define the shape of the at least one recessed feature. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein said pre-forming the hollow structure comprises crimping the hollow structure to form at least one indentation. 7. The method of claim 4 further comprising: after said filling the hollow structure with the inner core material, manipulating the jacketed core to define the shape of the at least one recessed feature. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein said manipulating the jacketed core comprises forming at least one notch in the inner core. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein said forming the at least one notch in the inner core comprises forming elongated notches in opposing elongated sides of the exterior surface. 10. A method of forming a component having an internal passage defined therein, said method comprising: providing a hollow structure, wherein the hollow structure is formed from a first material;after providing the hollow structure, filling the hollow structure with an inner core material to form a jacketed core, wherein the jacketed core includes a tip portion and a root portion;positioning the jacketed core with respect to a mold, wherein said positioning comprises forming the mold by an investment casting process, wherein at least one of the tip portion and the root portion becomes encased in the mold during the investment casting process;introducing a component material in a molten state into a cavity of the mold, such that the component material in the molten state at least partially absorbs the first material from a portion of the jacketed core within the cavity;cooling the component material in the cavity to form the component, wherein the component material solidifies to include the at least partially absorbed first material; andremoving the inner core material from the component to form the internal passage. 11. A method of forming a component having an internal passage defined therein, said method comprising: providing a hollow structure formed from a first material that is metallic;after providing the hollow structure, injecting an inner core material into the hollow structure to form a jacketed core;positioning the jacketed core with respect to a mold;introducing a component material in a molten state into a cavity of the mold, such that a portion of the jacketed core is submerged, and such that the component material in the molten state contacts the first material along substantially an entire outer perimeter of the submerged portion of the jacketed core, wherein the component material in the molten state at least partially absorbs the first material from a portion of the jacketed core within the cavity;cooling the component material in the cavity to form the component, wherein the component material solidifies to include the at least partially absorbed first material;removing the inner core material from the component to form the internal passage; andfurther comprising, prior to said injecting the inner core material, pre-forming the hollow structure to correspond to a selected nonlinear shape of the internal passage, wherein the component includes one of a rotor blade and a stator vane, said pre-forming the hollow structure comprises pre-forming the hollow structure to correspond to the nonlinear shape of the internal passage that is complementary to an axial twist of the component. 12. The method of claim 11 further comprising securing the jacketed core relative to the mold such that the jacketed core remains fixed relative to the mold during said introducing and said cooling the component material. 13. The method of claim 11, wherein said removing the inner core material from the component comprises removing the inner core material from the component without degrading the component material. 14. The method of claim 11, wherein the inner core material forms an inner core, an exterior surface of the inner core has at least one recessed feature, said method further comprises forming the internal passage with at least one passage wall feature complementary to the shape of the at least one recessed feature. 15. The method of claim 14 further comprising: prior to said injecting the inner core material, pre-forming the hollow structure to define the shape of the at least one recessed feature. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein said pre-forming the hollow structure comprises crimping the hollow structure to form at least one indentation.
