  • Patent number: 11517981
    Abstract: A method of reworking an aerospace component includes removing a casting defect from a component manufactured of a non-fusion weldable base alloy to form a cavity. The cavity is then at least partially filled with a multiple of layers of discrete laser powder deposition spots of a filler alloy. A cast component for a gas turbine engine includes a cast component non-fusion weldable base alloy with a cavity filled with a multiple of layers of laser powder deposition spots of a filler alloy. The filler alloy may be different than the non-fusion weldable base alloy. A layer of non-fusion weldable base alloy is at least partially within the cavity and over the filler alloy.

  • Patent number: 11143042
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to a system and method for applying a metallic coating. A first metallic coating may be applied to a portion of a total surface of a part and a second metallic coating may be applied to substantially the total surface. The metallic coating may be applied to a vane cluster for use in a turbomachine.

  • Publication number: 20160167180
    Abstract: A method for coating a part according to an aspect of the disclosure includes the step binding a metallic powder to a section of the part. The metallic powder is then energized which at least partially melts and resolidifies the metallic powder to form a first metallic coating. After the first layer of metallic coating is formed a second layer of metallic coating is deposited on substantially all of the part.

  • Patent number: 7291799
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments of an EDM electrode dressing template comprising a body made of an electrically conductive material. Bonded to the body is a pad with an electrically conductive material with hardness greater than the body. An electrode with an eroded end is positioned proximate the pad and a DC current pulses between the eroded end and the pad. After a period of time, the eroded end is shaped into a dressed tip. Since the pad is less susceptible to spark erosion than the body, the electrode is more consistently dressed and the template is replaced less frequently.

  • Patent number: 4927662
    Abstract: Powdered cellulose is treated by combining it with a flavoring agent and from 25 to 75 parts by weight of water per 100 parts by weight of powdered cellulose, which is an amount of water sufficient to wet substantially all of the cellulose, mixing the whole and then heating the mixture to remove most of the water from the treated cellulose. A gelling agent also advantageously is combined with the powdered cellulose, flavoring agent and water before mixing the whole and then removing the water.

  • Patent number: 4902528
    Abstract: A dried precooked rice product is prepared by cooking rice grains for obtaining a moisture content of from 55% to 75% by weight and then by drying the cooked rice grains at a temperature of from 140.degree. C. to 185.degree. C. in two stages, firstly under stationary conditions to a moisture content of from 20% to 35% and secondly under agitated conditions to a moisture content of from 3% to 15%, for providing a precooked dried rice produce having a bulk density of from 37 g/100 cm to 42 g/100 cm. 100 g of the rice product so produced is capable of absorbing from 195 g to 225 g of boiled hot water in 10 minutes rehydration in 500 g of boiled hot water.

  • Patent number: 4828852
    Abstract: A process for the preparation of a precooked pasta product which comprises boiling a raw pasta in acidified water to partially cook the pasta, soaking the partially cooked pasta in acidified water, the cooking and soaking conditions being chosen to give the soaked, partially cooked pasta a pH of from 3.8 to 4.3 and a moisture content of from 61% to 68%, the soaking time being sufficient to enable the partially cooked pasta to absorb a further 3% to 7% water after boiling, coating with acidified cream having a milk fat content from 20% to 40% by weight based on the weight of cream, flush packaging with an inert gas or vacuum packaging, sealing and finally heat processing to complete the cooking.
