Full austenitic stainless filler metal, FMYJJ1(12Cr-14Ni-10Mn-5Mo-0.13N), for Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding has been developed to realize high strength and toughness at the temperature of liquid helium, and is to be applied for manufacturing the toroidal field coil case (TFCC) of the ITER. Before applying this filler metal in the actual production of a TFCC, 30 weld joints were trial-manufactured in order to confirm welding quality, including weldability, metallurgical properties, and mechanical properties at room temperature and liquid helium temperature. This paper provides a summary of weld joint mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, fracture toughness, fatigue crack growth and fatigue properties, which were obtained in the qualification phase at the temperature of liquid helium. In addition, in order to clarify correlations between welding control parameters and mechanical properties, the results of comparisons with other parameters are provided.
