A tool and a process for forming a vehicle component is provided. An insert has a lost core generally encapsulated by a cast metal shell. The insert has an anchor surface and a first locating member spaced apart therefrom, and is shaped to form a fluid passage in the vehicle component. A first die is configured to mate with the anchor surface and constrain the insert. A second die defines a first locator recess sized to receive the first locating member and constrain the insert. The first and second dies mate with one another to form the tool. The first and second dies constrain the insert in multiple degrees of freedom.

A method for die casting a hybrid component includes defining a cavity within a die element of a die and inserting a spar into the cavity. Molten metal is injected into the die element. The molten metal is solidified within the cavity to cast the hybrid component. The spar establishes an internal structure of the hybrid component. The spar includes a high melting temperature material that defines a first melting temperature greater than a second melting temperature of the molten metal.

A method for die casting a component includes inserting at least one sacrificial core into a die cavity of a die comprised of a plurality of die elements. Molten metal is injected into the die cavity. The molten metal is solidified within the die cavity to form the component. The plurality of die elements are disassembled from the component, and the at least one sacrificial core is destructively removed from the component.
