On the Dezincification of Brass Castings

Abstract

The object of the work was to determine the effect of some added elements to 65/35 and 60/40 brass castings on their dezincification properties in NaCl solution. It was demonstrated that the quantitative measurement of dezincification could be performed by the method of calorimetric determination using the photometer, and that tin was most effective as an addition alloy element to protect the dezincification, though manganese and aluminum were slightly effective, while iron was assessed as an undesirable
