Characteristics：
( 1 ) The molten metal of XMS-316 is18%Cr-12%Ni-2%Mo austenite structure.
( 2 ) The molten metal contains Mo content, corrosion resistance is well for resisting acetic acid,phosphoric acid and salts of them.
( 3 ) It’s used to weld stainless steel of chemical container such as AISI 316，or weld 13Cr,18Cr without heat treatment after welding.
