The invention relates to a
welding wire made of
nickel base
alloy. The
welding wire comprises the following components by
mass percent: 0.4-0.45% of C, 1.0-1.5% of Mn, 0.15-1.2% of Si, less than or equal to 0.025% of P, less than or equal to 0.02% of S, 28-30% of Cr, 49-51% of Ni, less than or equal to 0.1% of Co, less than or equal to 0.1% of Mo, less than or equal to 0.1% of Ti, less than or equal to 0.1% of Al, 4.0-5.0% of W and the balance of Fe. A method for preparing the
welding wire comprises the steps of
smelting the
alloy, remelting electro-
slag, carrying out hot
forging and cogging down, carrying out hot rolling and annealing, carrying out acid
pickling,
polishing, carrying out cold drawing and removing
hydrogen, wherein a CaF2, Al2O3 or CaO
slag system is adopted in the step of remelting the electro-
slag. The thinner welding wire can be prepared by the method for preparing the welding wire made of the
nickel base
alloy, the performances of the welding wire meet the requirements, and the welding wire is high in yield.
