Passivation and pitting corrosion of α‐brass (Cu/Zn: 63/37) in neutral buffer solutions containing chloride ions

Abstract: The passivation behaviour and pitting corrosion of a commercial grade a-brass (CuIZn: 63/37) in neutral buffer solutions (borate and phosphate) in the presence and absence of chloride ions were investigated by electrochemical techniques. The results indicated the dezincification in absence of chloride ions at highly enough anodic potentials and both dezincification and pitting corrosion in the presence of chloride ions. The pitting susceptibility was found to depend on the composition of the buffer solution, c… Show more

“…Compared to pure copper, brasses are much more prone to pitting, as the multicomponent surface layer containing ZnO is less resistant to dissolution in a corrosive environment [14,15]. In the presence of chloride ions, dezincification and localized attacks on the surface of α-brass take place simultaneously [19], which adds to the corrosive effect.…”
