Latest Tip: Corrosion of Copper Alloys
Copper alloys such as brasses (Cu/Zn alloys), bronzes (Cu/Sn alloys) and Copper Nickel alloys are widely used in industrial and domestic applications.
Brasses are generally immune to general corrosion but can suffer from stress corrosion cracking in ammonia containing water. Brasses containing 20-40% zinc are highly susceptible to SCC. Alloys containing more than 15% zinc may also undergo dezincification in which the zinc rich β phase is dissolved leaving a weak, porous structure behind. The dezincification can be of the plug or layer type. Dezincification resistance can be improved by increasing the copper content or adding small amounts of arsenic, antimony or phosphorous. Specifying a DZR brass or gun-metal (a copper-tin-zinc-lead alloy) will mean that the risk of dezincification is exceedingly low.
