A welding wire for welding FV520B martensitic stainless steel comprises a powder core and an outer skin. The powder core is composed of, by mass, 15 percent to 35 percent of rutile, five percent to 15 percent of zircon sand, two percent to five percent of quartz, four percent to 10 percent of feldspar, two percent to five percent of sodium carbonate, two percent to five percent of aluminum oxide, six percent to 12 percent of aluminum magnesium alloy, five percent to 10 percent of electrolytic manganese metal, 18 percent to 25 percent of chromium powder, six percent to 10 percent of nickel powder, two percent to six percent of ferroniobium and one percent to 10 percent of molybdenum powder, and the sum of the mass percent of all the components is 100 percent. The welding wire is good in arcing and arc stabilizing performance, good in molten pool fluidity, fine in splashed particle and even in postwelding slag coverage, and enables deslagging to be easy, welding joint forming is meticulous and attractive, the welding wire is suitable for large linear energy welding, the organization and performance obtained through the prewelding preheating and postwelding heat treatment process can meet actual production needs, and the welding requirement for FV520B martensitic stainless steel is met.
