wherein the at least one selected from molybdenum (Mo), cobalt (Co), and tungsten (W) (expressed as “Mo+W+Co”), the at least one selected from niobium (Nb) and vanadium (V) (expressed as “Nb+V”), and the nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr), aluminum (Al), and titanium (Ti) satisfy Formula 1 below:

1.5Ni-8Cr-2.5(Mo+W+Co)-20Al-29Ti-55(Nb+V)≥0.  (Formula 1)

2. The welded joint of claim 1 , wherein the at least one selected from molybdenum (Mo), cobalt (Co), and tungsten (W) (expressed as “Mo+W+Co”), the at least one selected from niobium (Nb) and vanadium (V) (expressed as “Nb+V”), and the nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr), aluminum (Al), and titanium (Ti) further satisfy Formula 2 below:

98.5C-1.08Mn+9.73Cr-1.52Ni+10.3(Mo+W+Co)+122Ti+34.7(Nb+V)≥0.  (Formula 2)

3. The welded joint of claim 1 , wherein the silicon (Si), aluminum (Al), and titanium (Ti) satisfy Formula 3 below:

Si+Al+Ti≤2.0.  (Formula 3)

4. The welded joint of claim 1 , wherein the welded joint has an impact toughness of 27 J or greater at an extremely low temperature of −196° C.

5. The welded joint of claim 1 , wherein the welded joint has a yield strength of 360 MPa or greater at room temperature.

6. The welded joint of claim 1 , further comprising, by wt %, one or more of nitrogen (N): 0.001% to 0.6% and boron (B): 0.0001% to 0.008%.

7. The welded joint of claim 6 , wherein the at least one selected from molybdenum (Mo), cobalt (Co), and tungsten (W) (expressed as “Mo+W+Co”), the at least one selected from niobium (Nb) and vanadium (V) (expressed as “Nb+V”), and the nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr), aluminum (Al), and titanium (Ti) further satisfy Formula 2 below:

98.5C-1.08Mn+9.73Cr-1.52Ni+10.3(Mo+W+Co)+122Ti+34.7(Nb+V)≥0.  (Formula 2)

8. The welded joint of claim 6 , wherein the silicon (Si), aluminum (Al), and titanium (Ti) satisfy Formula 3 below:

Si+Al+Ti≤2.0.  (Formula 3)
