Abstract
A flux-cored wire for gas shielded arc welding may contain, based on total mass of the wire: Fe: 78 mass % or more; TiO2: 4 mass % to 13 mass %; Mn: 1.0 mass % to 2.4 mass %; Cr: 1.0 mass % to 3.0 mass %; Mo: 0.2 mass % to 1.2 mass %; Si: 0.1 mass % to 0.8 mass %; Mg: 0.1 mass % to 1.0 mass %; fluoride (F conversion value): 0.05 mass % to 0.25 mass %; C: 0.01 mass % to 0.10 mass %; V: 0.003 mass % to 0.020 mass %; Nb: 0.003 mass % to 0.020 mass %; and B: less than 100 ppm (including 0 ppm). The contents of Mn, C, and V based on total mass of the wire may satisfy a relationship of 28×Mn/(390×C+2370×V)≥0.82.

- wherein the C is derived from a steel outer sheath of the flux-cored wire;
- a component contained in a flux of the flux-cored wire, the component being at least one selected from the group consisting of a graphite, chromium carbide, Si—C and an alloy of C;
- or both of the steel outer sheath and the component,
- wherein the contents of Mn, C, and V based on the total mass of the wire satisfy a relationship of 28×Mn/(390×C+2370×V)≥0.82, and
- wherein the contents of TiO2, Mg, Nb, and V, based on the total wire mass, satisfy the following relationship:
