Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A repair method for repairing a crack generated to a cast steel member due to a thermal stress includes removing a part of the cast steel member including the crack at a surface of the cast steel member to form a recess, fitting into the recess a first repair member that is made of a metal that is more flexible than the cast steel member and that is weldable to the cast steel member, and spot welding the first repair member to the cast steel member.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A repair method for repairing a crack generated to a cast steel member due to a thermal stress, comprising: removing a part of the cast steel member including the crack at a surface of the cast steel member and forming a recess; fitting into the recess a first repair member that is made of a metal that is more flexible than the cast steel member and that is weldable to the cast steel member; spot welding the first repair member to the cast steel member; and welding a strip-form second repair member, made of a metal that is more flexible than the cast steel member and that is weldable to the cast steel member, to the cast steel member in a manner intersecting a lengthwise direction of the crack and spanning over the first repair member. 2. The method of repairing a cast steel member according to claim 1 , further comprising: spot welding the mounted second repair member and a main body of the cast steel member. 3. The method of repairing a cast steel member according to claim 1 , wherein the first repair member and the second repair member are made of a same material. 4. The method of repairing a cast steel member according to claim 3 , wherein the first repair member and the second repair member are metal members made of nickel that has a purity of 99.9% or greater.
