A turbine shroud segment is metal injection molded (MIM) about a core to provide a composite structure. In one aspect, the core is held in position in an injection mold and then the MIM material is injected in the mold to form the body of the shroud segment about the core. Any suitable combination of materials can be used for the core and the MIM shroud body, each material selected for its own characteristics. The core may be imbedded in the shroud platform to provide a multilayered reinforced platform, which may offer resistance against crack propagation.
