Flux cored wires provide high arc stability, good bead shape and high toughness in gas shielded arc welding using mixed gases containing argon and carbon dioxide. A flux cored wire for gas shielded arc welding with a mixed gas comprising argon and carbon dioxide which comprises: a seam-welded steel sheath; and a core filled in the steel sheath and comprising, all in weight percent: a slag and arc stabilizer comprising 4.0 to 6.0 % TiO2, 0.2 to 0.8 % SiO2, 0.4 to 0.8 % ZrO2, 0.2 to 0.8 % Al2O3, 0.06 to 0.25 % Na2O + K2O, and 0.1 to 0.4 % metal fluoride; an alloying agent and metal deoxidizer comprising 0.03 to 0.06 % C, 0.20 to 0.80 % Si, 1.50 to 2.20 % Mn, and 0.30 to 0.60 % Mg; and not less than 2 % Fe; in which the percentages of iron and a combination of Na and K segregated in the quartered cross section of the wire that are defined by the following equations (1) and (2) are not more than 10 % and not more than 0.15 %, respectively: <MATH> wherein Max. AFe = maximum area ratio of Fe segregated in the quartered cross section of the wire; Min. AFe = minimum area ratio of Fe segregated in the quartered cross section of the wire; <MATH> wherein Max. A(Na+K) = maximum area ratio of a combination of Na and K segregated in the quartered cross section of the wire; Min. A(Na+K) = minimum area ratio of a combination of Na and K segregated in the quartered cross section of the wire. <IMAGE> |
