    What Is Selective Leaching Corrosion?

    Uploaded by

    Litarmj
    This document discusses selective leaching corrosion, also called dealloying, which is a corrosion process where one constituent of an alloy is preferentially dissolved by the environment, leaving the alloy weak and porous. It causes issues like dezincification in brass alloys. Dealloying susceptibility depends on alloy composition and environment. It can be prevented by selecting more resistant alloys, controlling the environment, or using cathodic protection. Dezincification of brass occurs when zinc content is over 15% and zinc atoms dissolve out, weakening the copper crystal lattice.

    What is Selective Leaching

    Corrosion?
    Selective leaching is an corrosion process in which one
    constituent of an alloy is preferentially dissolved by the
    environment leaving the dealloyed metal weak and
    often porous.
    This process is also called parting, dealloying,
    dematalification and selective corrosion.

    What cause dealloying?


    Different metals and alloys have different komposition
    and electrochemical potentials (or corrosion potentials)
    in the same electrolyte.
    Susceptibility to dealloying depends on
    - Alloy composition
    - Environment

    Source : Principle of Corrosion

    How to prevent dealloying?


    Select metals/alloys that are more resistant to
    dealloying. For example, inhibited brass is more
    resistant to
    dezincification than alpha brass, ductile iron is more
    resistant to graphitic corrosion than gray cast iron.
    Control the environment to minimize the selective
    leaching
    Use sacrificial anode cathodic protection or impressed
    current cathodic protectio

    Example :
    Dezincification

    Occurs in brass alloys that contain more than 15% zinc


    Zinc in solid solution within copper crystal lattice
    Zinc atoms dissolve into electrolyteZinc
    Copper

    Mechanism Dezincfication
    Generally three mechanisms are proposed
    1. Dissolution and redeposition mechanism
    Entire alloy is dissolved first
    More noble metal is replated ( eg. Cu in Brass)
    Active metal is leached away ( eg. Zn in Brass )

    2. Selective dissolution
    One species is selectively dissolved from alloy leaving a porous residue of
    more noble metal behind

    3. Combination of two methods

    Two forms of dezincification


    Overall dimensions of the material do not change
    Dezincified areas weakened or in some cases perforated
    Uniform layer dezincification
    Dezincified layer

    Localized (Plug) dezincification
