Abstract
In a stainless steel flux cored wire comprising a stainless steel shell and a flux filling the shell, the amount of Si contained in the entire wire is 2.5% by mass or higher, preferably 3.0% by mass or higher in terms of SiO, and the amount of at least one compound selected from the group consisting of polytetrafluoroethylene, graphite fluoride and perfluoropolyether contained in the flux is 0.005 to 0.10% by mass of the total mass of the wire in terms of F, preferably 0.020% by mass or higher. By employing such a constitution, in welding of Cr—Ni-based and Cr-based stainless steels and other materials, fume generation and hexavalent chromium leaching can be significantly reduced, and excellent welding workability can be provided.
