An improved welding method is provided for repairing rotating shafts, particularly cracked high pressure steam turbine rotors. The welding method preferably employs a 2.25Cr-1.0Mo-0.3V-type welding filler metal, preferably deposited using a narrow groove automatic gas tungsten arc welding technique. A narrow groove is formed in the rotor to remove the crack. The groove is preheated, filled with the welding filler metal, and postheated, resulting in a strong, high temperature resistant, long lasting weld.
