Abstract: A method for repairing a shrink-fitted turbine disc without removing the disc from the shaft. The method is composed of two basic steps: (1) depositing one or more weld layers in a vicinity of a defective region of the disc using a temperbead welding process and (2) heat treating the disc using an induction heating process. In a first embodiment of the method, the heat treating step includes heating a heat-affected zone of the disc in a vicinity of the one or more weld layers to a temperature T.sub.h, heating a rim region of the disc to a temperature T.sub.r and heating a bore region of the disc to a temperature T.sub.b, where T.sub.h, T.sub.r >T.sub.b. In a second embodiment of the method, the heat treating step includes heating a region of the disc in a vicinity of the one or more weld layers using the induction heating process and concurrently cooling a bore region of the disc.
