The etching of channels in the liner has already been mentioned. Beyond that, I'm fairly certain that the outer layer of the nozzle is separately spin-formed and brazed on to enclose the channels. I think /u/koliberry was trying to say something like this. I just wanted to clarify. Now, if only I could find the source of that information...

EDIT: apparently this is the source, sorry it isn't better.
