ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This is a method for repairing low alloy steel steam turbine (both high pressure and low pressure sec- tions) or generator rotors. The defective section of the original rotor is removed and a replacement end is used, with mating attachments machined on the replacement end and the original rotor. The inner portion of the weld joining the replacement end to the original rotor is provided by a narrow gap weld, either by gas metal or by submerged arc welding. The outer 1/2-2 inches of the weld is provided by gas tungsten arc welding. The mating attachment and at least the inside 1/4 inch of the weld is bored out to remove possible crack initiation sites and to provide a smooth inspectable bore. In this manner, a fast and reliable technique is provided which provides accurate alignment, fast, essentially distortion free welding, and the superior mechanical properties of gas tungsten arc welding in the outer, more highly stressed zones.
