Description
The occurrence of dezincification in valves and fittings made of brass alloys with a high content of zinc has caused relatively few problems in the United States although it is a problem in many parts of Europe and other areas. This is probably because AWWA standards call for the use of low-zinc brass alloys. However, not all waters would subject high-zinc brass to dezincification, so water suppliers should be aware of the mechanism and the causes and effects of this type of corrosion. The author provides a literature review and a summary of findings in studies undertaken since 1955 on dezincification. Includes 8 references, figure.
