Abstract:
Inhibited α brasses are largely immune to
dezincification in most water, but the effect of tin and arsenic
addition to α/β brasses is not so reliable or predictable in
controlling the problem. There have been many cases of
dezincification in duplex brasses in both fresh water and
seawater. There is no reliable method of inhibiting the
dezincification of two-phase brass despite there are some
protection methods such as inhibitors, electro deposition and
electro polymerization. Organic coatings are effectively used for
the protection of metals due to their capacity to act as a physical
barrier between the metal surface and corrosive environment.
Hence, epoxy coating on brass was applied and effect of this
against dezincification in Cochin estuarine water over a period
of one year was studied and reported in this paper
