Dezincification and Brass Lead Leaching in Premise Plumbing Systems: Effects of Alloy, Physical Conditions and Water Chemistry
Brass components are widely used in drinking water distribution systems as valves, faucets and other fixtures. They can be corroded by "dezincification," which is the selective leaching of zinc from the alloy. Dezincification in potable water systems has important practical consequences that …

Insights Into Non-Uniform Copper and Brass Corrosion in Potable Water Systems
Non-uniform corrosion of copper and brass in potable water systems poses both economic and environmental problems associated with premature plumbing failures and release of metals. With respect to copper pitting corrosion, it was found that forensic testing (i.e., in pipe-loops) is the only …
