Zusammenfassung:	A defect in a splitter fairing (26) of a turbine engine (10) is repaired by removing a forward portion (30) of the splitter fairing (26) and salvaging the remaining original portion (54) of the splitter fairing (26). The forward portion (30) includes an inner flange (46) and outer surface that create a channel. A replacement ring (56) is provided and welded to the original portion (54). The replacement ring (56) has minimum dimensions equal to the maximum height and width of the removed forward portion (30). Material from the replacement ring (56) is then removed to obtain a profile with essentially the same profile for the inner flange, outer surface, and channel as the original dimensions of the splitter fairing (26) before the defect occurred.
