Zusammenfassung:A method of producing a turbine rotor, in particular a steam turbine rotor, is provided. A forged and machined existing steam turbine rotor having partially larger dimensions as dimensions of an intended rotor is provided. The form of the existing rotor is compared with the form of the intended rotor and a position of the intended rotor within the existing rotor is chosen. Material is applied by build-up welding on portions of the existing rotor where not enough material is present for machining the intended rotor at the chosen position. The intended rotor is produced at the chosen position by machining the existing rotor.
