Abstract
Peculiarities of performing the repair welding operations at reconditioning of metal structures, mechanisms, machines and engineering facilities are reviewed. The paper describes the methods which are the most often used during reconditioning operations of defect repair and groove preparation, repair welding technologies, welding consumables used for repair, and techniques of controlling the welded Joints quality.
Keywords: repair welding, restoration of welded struc¬tures, defect removal, edge preparation, control of welded Joint quality, residual stresses, welding consumables, fatigue cracks
