Abstract
A method of repairing an aperture and adjacent defect wherein one or more defects proximate an aperture are removed from the base material proximate the aperture in an arc shape. An insert containing a profile that corresponds to the arc shaped section of the base material removed is welded to the base material. The weld is accomplished with a single curved path. Next, the insert is removed to create a repaired aperture and a surrounding section that has essentially the same dimensions as the aperture and surrounding section prior to the repair.
