Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a welding metal in which the chemical component composition thereof is appropriately controlled; an A value that is specified by a predetermined relational expression satisfies the requirement of being 3.8% to 9.0%; an X value that is specified by a predetermined relational expression satisfies the requirement of being 0.5% or greater; the area percentage of carbide particles having a circle-equivalent diameter of 0.20 μm or greater in the welding metal is 4.0% or less; and the number of carbide particles having a circle-equivalent diameter of 1.0 μm or greater is 1000 particles/mm 2 or less. This welding metal, which can exhibit not only high strength but also good low-temperature toughness and good drop-weight characteristics, is useful as a material for a pressure vessel in a nuclear power plant.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A welding metal, comprising iron and, by mass percent based on a total mass of the welding metal: from 0.02% to 0.10% of C; from 0.5% or less (excluding 0%) of Si; from 1.0% to 1.9% of Mn; from 2.7% to 8.0% of Ni; from 0.7% or less (excluding 0%) of Cr; from 0.05% to 0.8% of Mo; from 0.010% to 0.060% of Ti; from 0.010% or less (excluding 0%) of N; and from 0.015% to 0.060% of O, wherein: a total content of Cr and Mo is 0.8% o…
