Abstract:The brass (Cu-Zn alloy) is widely used for the water pipe of constructional plant and the joint of the device material. One of the corrosion problems of Cu-Zn alloy is the dezincing, which is the selective dissolution of Zn from Cu-Zn alloy. The fundamental studies of anodic dissolution of Cu-Zn alloy were reported by Pickering et al. (1-3). They indicated that a porous Cu-rich layer was formed on the surface of Cu-Zn alloy due to the preferential dissolution of Zn from Cu-Zn alloy. They proposed the two types… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
