The repair reinforcement height is an important parameter of repair welding, which may have a great influence on structural integrity. In this paper, the effects of repair welding reinforcement height on the microstructure, microhardness, residual stresses and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behavior of a 304 stainless steel-repaired joint were investigated by experimentation and simulation. With an increase of the repair weld reinforcement height, the ferrite content in weld and fusion zone is obviously reduced, and the ferrite shape is gradually changed from the skeleton to the worm shape. With the increase of repair welding reinforcement height, the microhardness and residual stresses decrease gradually. The tensile strength and elongation for higher repair weld reinforcement height are larger than those with lower repair weld reinforcement height. The higher the repair weld reinforcement height, the harder it is for SCC to occur. The repair welding in 304 stainless steel is recommended to be repaired no more than two times.
