To provide weld metal that has a high strength and toughness in the as-welded condition or in the annealed condition. The weld metal of the present invention contains by weight %, C: 0.04-0.15%, Si: 0.50% or less, Mn: 1.0-1.9%, Ni: 1.0-4.0%, Cr: 0.10-1.0%, Mo: 0.20 to 1.2%, Ti: 0.010-0.060%, Al: 0.030% or less, O: 0.15-0.060%, N: 0.010% or less, Fe and inevitable impurities as the remaining contents. The weld metal is further characterized by the fact that the ratio of Ti content (%) to Si content (%) i.e., [compound type Ti]/[compound type Si] is more than 1.5, and the number A defined by the following formula is 0.50 or more, wherein A=[Ti]/([O]−1.1×[Al]+0.05×[Si]).
A weld metal, comprising Fe, and, by weight %:
