Abstract

A welded joint having high strength and good hydrogen embrittlement resistance is provided. A welded joint is a welded joint obtained by welding a base material using a welding material. The base material has a chemical composition of, in mass %: C: 0.005 to 0.1%; Si: up to 1.2%; Mn: 2.5 to 6.5%; Ni: 8 to 15%; Cr: 19 to 25%; Mo: 0.01 to 4.5%; V: 0.01 to 0.5%; Nb: 0.01 to 0.5% Al: less than 0.05%; N: 0.15 to 0.45%; O: up to 0.02%; P: up to 0.05%; and S: up to 0.04%, and a balance being iron and impurities, and which satisfies Equation (1). The welding material has a chemical composition which satisfies Equations (1) and (2). Ni+0.65Cr+0.98Mo+1.05Mn+0.35Si+12.6C≥29  (1) 0.31C+0.048Si−0.02Mn−0.056Cr+0.007Ni−0.013Mo≤−1.0  (2)
