The invention relates to a technique for repairing a hardened gear, specifically disclosing a method for repairing a hardened gear, which can be applied to industries such as a cement plant, a steel mill, a missile unit, chemical industry, railway, petroleum, mine, a power plant, a sintering plant, a pelletizing plant, a steel rolling mill, a fertilizer plant and the like. The method is capable of solving repair of a fault thickness within a range of 1-300 mm in a cladding manner by employing different materials for a joint layer, a transition layer, a work layer and a processing layer in this order. Therefore, with the method, the hardened gear can be quickly repaired, so that the economic loss caused by the damage of the hardened gear is minimized.
