Copper Pitting and Brass Dezincification: Chemical and Physical Effects
نویسندگان
چکیده
OBJECTIVES: The key hypothesis of this project was that both chemical and physical factors associated with real plumbing systems may influence copper pitting and brass dezincification corrosion, and thus the project was aimed at better understanding these factors. In addition to a comprehensive review of the literature on brass dezincification in potable water systems, experimental work was undertaken to meet the following objectives:

A Note on the Dezincification of Brass and the Inhibiting Effect of Elemental Additions
The dezincification of brasses has been the subject of substantial conjecture and investigation over the past century and the technical press is littered with papers on the problem. Very broadly the technical literature can be subdivided into five main groups as follows: (a) Observations of dezincification phenomena including mechanically induced dezincification and in-service experience in var...
متن کاملDENSIFICATION AND MICROSTRUCTURE CHARACTERISTICS OF A PREALLOYED ALPHA BRASS POWDER PROCESSED BY LIQUID PHASE SINTERING
The rapidly solidified prealloyed alpha brass powder with a size range of 40 to 100 μm produced by water atomization process was consolidated using liquid phase sintering process. The relationships between sintering temperature, physic-mechanical properties and microstructural characteristics were investigated. Maximum densification was obtained at 930 °C, under 600 MPa compacting pressure,...
متن کاملGrowth of carbon nanostructures upon stainless steel and brass by thermal chemical vapor deposition method
The lack of complete understanding of the substrate effects on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) growth poses a lot oftechnical challenges. Here, we report the direct growth of nanostructures such as the CNTs on stainless steel 304and brass substrates using thermal chemical vapor deposition (TCVD) process with C2H2 gas as carbon sourceand hydrogen as supporting gas mixed in Ar gas flow. We used an especi...
متن کاملPorous copper template from partially spark plasma-sintered Cu–Zn aggregate via dezincification
Present work deals with the preparation of spark plasma-sintered Cu–Zn aggregate (5, 10 and 20 wt% Zn) with interfacial bonding only starting from elemental powders of Cu and Zn (99⋅9% purity) and subsequently making of porous template of Cu by dezincification. Sintering is done so as to achieve only interfacial bonding with the aim to maintain maximum potential difference between the Cu and Zn...
متن کاملDistribution of zinc and copper chemical forms and their relationship with some physico-chemical properties and clay minerals in some calcareous soils
Determination and recognition of relative distribution of chemical forms of each element and their relationship with physical, chemical and soil clay minerals can help researchers to manage soil fertility better. This research attempted to recognize chemical fractions of zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) in some surface and subsurface soil samples of Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province and their relati...
