A method is provided for repairing a metallic turbine component which includes at least two airfoils interconnected by a mid-span shroud. The method includes: (a) applying a reinforcement plate to the mid-span shroud; (b) applying braze material to at least a portion of a perimeter of the reinforcement plate; (c) heating the component to melt and flow the braze material between the reinforcement plate and the mid-span shroud; and (d) allowing the braze material to cool and solidify so as to bond the reinforcement plate to the mid-span shroud.
