The invention relates to the field of welding materials, in particular to a novel high-scandium aluminum alloy welding wire. The novel high-scandium aluminum alloy welding wire chemically comprises, by mass, 4.5-6.0% of Mg, 0.10-0.20% of Mn, 0.20-0.30% of Ti, 0.30-0.50% of Zn, 0.10-0.20% of Cr, 0.25-0.35% of Zr, 1.20-1.60% of Sc, not more than 0.20% of Fe, not more than 0.20% of Si, not more than 0.05% of Cu, not more than 0.0005% of Be, not more than 0.1% of other single impurity elements, not more than 0.15% of other impurity elements and the balance Al. The novel high-scandium aluminum alloy welding wire has the advantages of uniformity in texture, tiny grains, good electrical conductivity, excellent welding performance, high weld strength, good ductility and toughness, excellent mechanical property, low hot-cracking susceptibility and excellent corrosion resistance.
