A flux-cored wire for electro gas
arc welding is provided to improve strength, elongation and
toughness of the
weld metal and obtain excellent
welding workability with respect to
steel plates with a wide width and a thickness of 25 to 70 mm, and an electro gas arc
weld metal manufactured using the flux-cored wire for electro gas
arc welding is provided. As a flux-cored wire for electro gas
arc welding formed by filling a flux in a steel sheath, the flux-cored wire for electro gas arc
welding contains, per the total
mass of the wire, 0.03 to 0.07
mass% of C, 0.3 to 0.8
mass% of Si, 1.5 to 2.2 mass% of Mn, 0.4 to 1.5 mass% of Ni, 0.05 to 0.60 mass% of a total of Cr and Mo, 0.02 to 0.20 mass% of Ti, 0.005 to 0.020 mass% of B, 0.20 to 0.50 mass% of Mg, controls Al to not more than 0.10 mass%, and contains 1.0 to 2.0 mass% of a
slag forming agent, the
slag forming agent containing, per the total wire mass, 0.30 to 0.70 mass% of F and 0.02 to 0.20 mass% of K, wherein [A] is 0.10 to 1.0 and [B] is 0.12 to 0.58 when [A] and [B] are values determined by equations [A]=(Cr+Mo) / Ni and [B]=C / (Ti+20xB) from contents of Cr, Mo, Ni, C, Ti, and B respectively.
