What is Corrosion and why does Corrosion Testing Matter? 

Corrosion is a natural process that occurs in every material under certain environmental conditions, causing degradation of the material and, in turn, failure of critical equipment, products, and assets. These losses are expensive to remedy and could result in production downtime, environmental impact, and reputational damage. Corrosion testing is mission-critical to the design, development, and durability of metallic materials, components, and products.

Dezincification Resistance Testing

ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ’s experts test for dezincification resistance in accordance with ISO 6509, the most widely used test method for the determination of dezincification resistance of copper alloys with zinc.

Dezincification is the selective loss of zinc from a copper-zinc alloy. This process results in a porous, copper-rich layer at the water contact surface that has little mechanical strength. Dezincification can cause failure due to leakage, reduction in component integrity resulting in overload or fatigue, and increased vulnerability to stress corrosion cracking.

Common signs of dezincification include the presence of a white powdery deposit or mineral stains on the outer surface of a valve, seepage of water through the walls of fittings, or leakage at valves.  

Dezincification resistance test in accordance with ISO 6509 has proven useful to correct alloy selection for new applications and guide corrective actions to address field failures.
