The interest of austenitic heat resistant stainless steels containing high Si has increased because they have higher resistance of oxidation and higher strength at high temperature than STS 310. This study carried out Varestraint test for evaluation of solidification cracking sensitivity of 14 different stainless steels. As a result of Varestraint test, all specimens solidified as primary ferrite, and solidification crack sensitivity increased with adding $N_2$ to shielding gas. Nb and W had beneficial effect on solidification crack resistance in case of less than FN 2 containing, but crack sensitivity increased with Nb and W in case of more than FN 2. Ce had beneficial effect on solidification crack resistance but impaired weld bead appearance.

It is important to evaluate austenitic heat resistant stainless steel because of low weldability of austenitic heat resistant stainless steel containing high Si. This study took varestraint test for evaluation of solidification cracking sensitivity and Erichsen test for evaluation of weld metal ductility. As a result of tests, solidification crack sensitivity increased with adding $N_2$ to shielding gas, and W had detrimental effect on crack resistance, but Ce had beneficial effect on crack resistance. Under same heat input, ductility of weld metal increased with welding speed.

The effect of primary solidification phase on the solidification cracking sensitivity, corrosion resistance and toughness at cryogenic temperature was investigated for the austenitic stainless steel welds. The conclusions were summarized as follows; 1. Soldification crack sensitivity of austenitic stainless steel welds depends on the primary solidification mode. 2. Austenitic stainless steels were very susceptible to solidification cracking in case of solidification as primary ${\gamma}$ and immune when solidified as primary $\delta$. 3. When the ratio of Creq/Nieq is in the range of 1.46 to 1.55, the most resistance against solidification cracking was obtained. These results agreed well with the relationship between primary solidification mode, corrosion resistance and toughness at cryogenic temperature. 4. Optimum toughness, corrosion and solidification cracking resistance can be obtained when alloys having chemical compositions described above and solidifies as primary $\delta$ containing no ferrite at room temperature.

Stainless steel are widely applicable in various engineering fields for its exellent corrosion and impact ressistance. Austenitic weld metal has some ferrite for preventing solidification cracking by ASME specification. Several family of austenic stainless steel contains varying ferrite contents. But ferrite in austenic stainless steels is adversely affect weld metal toughness and since fully austenic grades are known to have good toughness. Austenic stainless steel has various alloying addition for improving corrosion resistance, impact toughness and solidification crack resistance. The effect of various alloying elements are not found to be clear in present. From this view of point, this study tried to establish the criteria of alloy design for austenic stainless steel by controlling primary solidification mode and clarifying the effect of several alloying elements.
