Disclosed is a basic flux cored wire having a mild steel or an alloy steel sheath filled with flux, characterized in that the flux essentially consists of, with respect to the total weight of the wire: 0.3 to 3.0% Ti and Ti oxide (TiO2-converted value); 1.0 to 2.5% Si and Si oxide (SiO2-converted value); 0.1 to 1.5% Mg and Mg oxide (MgO-converted value); 1.5 to 4.0% Mn and Mn oxide (MnO-converted value); 0.2 to 1.5% Al and Al oxide (Al2O3-converted value); 0.1 to 1.0% Zr and Zr oxide (ZrO2-converted value); 0.2 to 3.5% CaF2; and 0.01 to 0.5% K2O, with the proviso that the components satisfy the basicity of 0.5 to 4.5 in the basicity equation (1) defined as B=(CaF2+MgO+MnO+K2O)/(TiO2+SiO2+Al2O3+ZrO2). The basic flux cored wire of the present invention is excellent in crack resistance and low temperature toughness, and exhibits excellent welding workability in all welding positions, ensuring an improvement in the efficiency of welding work. Furthermore, the basic flux cored wire according to the present invention exhibits excellent welding workability even under a shield gas of 100% CO2.
