Determination of the onset of the dezincification of .alpha.-brass using x-ray photoelectron (ESCA) spectroscopy

Abstract: The initial effect observed during the dezincification of air-passivated «-brass in simulated seawater is the migration of Zn2+ from the alloy, through the passivation layers, to form an overlayer of ZnO. Subsequent layer thickening, selective oxide dissolution, and island formation are also documented. A general mechanism is proposed.Dezincification of Cu-Zn brasses is a classic corrosion problem1 for which the mechanism is still not entirely understood.2 Extensive studies during the early part of this centur… Show more

“…Further increase of HMMM loading over 2.6 phr increased the widths of both zinc and oxygen peaks. For the HMMM loading of 5.2 phr, severe dezincification [40] in the adhesion interphase occurred.…”

“…Generally, humidity is considered dangerous for brass alloy [15]. However, researchers always find difficulties in explaining the mechanisms of brass corrosion because of the complex nature of the metallic layer formed after the dezincification [15,16]. Furthermore, studies concerning the corrosion of brass consider commercial and standard samples to assess the corrosion mechanisms, whereas the corrosion of archaeological brass can be influenced by other factors (such as manufacturing processes, burial environment, and provenance) that cannot be reproduced with artificial ageing.…”

“…Based on the previous surface characterization, it's reasonable to assume that brass dissolution in STW leads primarily to the formation of aqueous Cu(II) species and solid Cu 2 O, identical to the case of pure copper [30]. Zn dissolution of course occurs via the formation of aqueous Zn(II) species leaving behind a trivial amount of precipitated Zn(II) as an amorphous Zn oxide or Zn hydroxide [45][46][47][48]. These solid Zn species remained on the surface and were independent of galvanostatic current and time, as is shown in Fig.…”

“…Dezincificaiton is a major limiting factor for the use of brass in numerous applications and is also a model system for the selective dissolution of a binary alloy. It is not surprising that much attention has been paid to the mechanistic explanation of dezincification [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] and the characterization of the dezincification structure [15][16][17][18]. Numerous theories have been proposed, though, during the last decades, they can ultimately be categorized into two major groups: a mechanism of selective dissolution and a mechanism of dissolution-redeposition.…”
