Disclosed is a welding material for austenitic heat-resistant steel, which has a chemical composition that contains more than 0.05% but 0.18% or less of C, 0.5% or less of Si, 1.5% or less of Mn, 40-50% of Ni, 20-25% of Cr, more than 8.0% but 13.0% or less of W, 0.01-0.2% of Ti, more than 0.03% but 0.20% or less of N and 0.01% or less of Al, and additionally if necessary, less than 0.60% of Nb, with the balance made up of Fe and impurities, while controlling O, P and S contained as impurities to 0.02% or less, 0.008% or less, and 0.005% or less, respectively. The welding material for austenitic heat-resistant steel exhibits excellent high-temperature cracking resistance during the welding. A welded metal that has high-temperature cracking resistance during the welding, stress relaxation cracking resistance when in use for a long period of time at high temperatures, and good creep strength can be provided using the above-described welding material. In addition, a welded joint can be provided, using the above-described welding material, from a base that has excellent creep strength at high temperatures and a welded metal that has high-temperature cracking resistance during the welding, stress relaxation cracking resistance when in use for a long period of time at high temperatures, and good creep strength.
