* select appropriate filler alloys for the job
* assess distortion stresses, pre-heat, post-heat and cooling gradients
* use hot and cold welding techniques, back stepping, skip and planned stitching and weld peening
* select the most appropriate processes to effect the repair
* use reinforcing, studding, grooves, bracing and electrode filler material mixing
