Abstract: Provided is a covered electrode for high-Cr ferritic heat-resistant steels with which it is possible to obtain weld metal that has the toughness required for weld parts and has excellent high temperature strength. The covered electrode for high-Cr ferritic heat-resistant steels includes a steel core and a coating agent that coats the core. The covered electrode comprises C, Si, Mn, Ni, Cr, Mo, V, Co, B, Nb, W, N, and Fe each in a predetermined range in the total mass of the covered electrode, contains a slag forming agent, and has a total of the W content and the Co content of 2.8 mass % or more.

Abstract: A welding material may be suitable for high-Cr ferritic heat-resistant steels, and may suppress ?-ferrite occurrence, i.e., a soft structure, thereby improving the toughness, and enabling the achievement of a welded metal that has good cracking resistance and strength at high temperatures. Such welding materials for high-Cr ferritic heat-resistant steels may contain C, Si, Mn, S, Co, V, Nb, W, N, and O, respectively within specific ranges and limits Ni and P respectively to specific ranges, while containing from 8.0% by mass to 9.5% by mass (inclusive) of Cr and from 0.02% by mass to 0.20% by mass (inclusive) of Mo and additionally limiting Cu to less than 0.05% by mass, with the balance being made up of Fe and unavoidable impurities.
