The closer the characteristics of the deposited metal match those of the material being welded, the better is the corrosion resistance of the welded joint.

This statement is true. When the characteristics of the deposited metal in a welded joint are similar to those of the base material being welded, the joint is less likely to experience galvanic corrosion or other types of metal degradation. This is because there are no significant differences between the two metals that could create an electrochemical reaction that could promote corrosion.
