Abstract:
[Object] There is provided a flux-cored wire capable of obtaining a weld metal having excellent low temperature toughness and improving welding efficiency, in which preheating performed for preventing cold cracking can be omitted or simplified.[Means for Solving Problems] The flux-cored wire includes one or more of CaF2, BaF2, SrF2, MgF2, and LiF and, when a total amount thereof is defined as α, the α is 2.0% to 7.0%, by mass %, with respect to a total mass of the flux-cored wire, one or more of a Ti oxide, a Si oxide, a Mg oxide, an Al oxide, a Zr oxide, and a Ca oxide are included in the flux-cored wire, and when a total amount thereof is defined as β, the β is 0.2% to 0.9%, by mass %, with respect to the total mass of the flux-cored wire, a ratio of an amount of the CaF2 with respect to the α is 0.90 or more, and a ratio of the α with respect to the β is 3.0 or more and 15.0 or less.
