Abstract: A method of restoring a gas turbine engine component includes depositing a filler material onto a sulphidation section of an underside of a turbine engine platform and laser consolidating the filler material to produce a restored surface on the underside. The sulphidation section includes sulphidation pit portions that are filled during the laser consolidating to produce the restored surface. An eroded trailing edge of a turbine airfoil is laser cladded to produce a restored trailing edge thickness.

Abstract: The invention provides a process for preparing cheese, a cheese-like product, a yoghurt or a dairy dessert without removing whey. It comprises providing a dairy starting material comprising casein and a quantity of undenatured (native) whey protein; adjusting the pH, if required, to a preselected point in the range 5.0-8.0; subjecting the material with the desired pH to a heating step; adjusting the pH of the heated intermediate product to 4.5-7.5 and processing and/or packaging the pH 4.5-7.5 product to form the final product. The process involves the manipulation of the texture of a dairy gel.

Abstract: The invention described is a milk protein composition having a high percentage of the whey protein from the dairy stream from which is was derived bound to the casein from that stream. The composition is prepared by a process in which the dairy stream heated during a holding period. A transglutaminase enzyme is added and the stream is again heated. This is followed by a step of coagulating the curd in the protein composition by the addition of a milk clotting enzyme or by acidifying. The milk protein composition may then be dried into a powder for use in cheese making.
