Yes Brass can corrode especially if coupled to a more noble metal in which case it will undergo Galvanic Corrosion. Amines and Nitrogen containing compounds can cause Stress Corrosion Cracking.

∙ 7y agoBrass is used where there in a high corrosion riskand under these circumstances the brass alloy has to be produced with great care. The aluminium content makes brass stronger and more corrosion resistant

Rust is a common name for iron oxide, a substance which forms when iron and oxygen react. Since brass contains no iron it cannot form rust.

What type of gold is most likely to corrode?
Fake gold is the type that is most likely to corrode. Real gold does not corrode.
Can magnesium corrode?
Yes, both HCl and Acetic acid will corrode it .
Does alloy gold corrode?
Gold alloys doesn't corrode in normal conditions.
Names of three metals which do not corrode?
The three metals that do not corrode are gold, silver and platinum.
Why taps are made of stainless steel?
Because if you join copper (the pipe) directly into steel (the radiator) the electrolytic difference is so great they would corrode very quickly. By using brass between them you reove this risk.
Why are door knobs brass?
Brass looks nice, can be fashioned into any shape needed, and does not corrode.
Why are ships' compasses made of brass?
Partly because brass does not corrode in seawater and partly because brass is not magnetic and so does not interfere with the compass needle.
Is it okay to connect copper pipe to brass to galvanized to brass and back to copper or will it cause a reaction that will corrode the pipes?
If you do connect copper pipe to galvanized pipe, you will need a dielectric coupling or else the galvanized pipe will corrode. Same with connecting galvanized pipe to brass fittings. Brass is an alloy that contains copper and therefore the same electrolytic properties will exist unless a dielectric coupling is used. Hope that helps you out.
Does brass corrode?
Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc and there are numerous variations as to the mixture of the copper and zinc which produces many types of Brass...Brass will eventually corrode depending on its mixture and what it is exposed to however the speed of the corrosion process may take decades or even centuries....as seen with the early weapons,tools,statues ect. made from brass from centuries past that show only slight corrosion...Some forms of brass contain alluminum which greatly increases its resistence to corrosion even by acidic or caustic chemicals....There are two types of "brass piping" in plumbing one is red brass and the other Yellow brass (no longer used)Red Brass is 85% copper and 15% Zinc and Yellow brass is 60% copper and 40% zinc. The inherent problems with yellow brass is it becomes brittle do to dezincification.Also if the velocity of the water is excessive you have erosion
Why is it easier to make musical instruments from brass instead of copper?
Actually, copper is softer than brass, and easier to work. The reason musical instruments are made from brass instead of pure copper is because that alloy with zinc is much more durable than copper alone, and does not as readily corrode.
Why are basic facts referred to as brass tacks?
It's a furniture idiom. Quality furniture is made using brass tacks to hold things together, because brass doesn't rust or corrode and ruin the furniture's upholstery. If you strip something "down to brass tacks," you're taking off all the frills and ruffles and exposing the basic framework.
Why the location of the shipyard and the orientation of the ship while in the shipyard are recorded on a brass plaque permanently fixed to the ship when steel naval ships are built?
First of all Brass doesn't corrode and it does not magnetize. Next the reason it is recorded on a brass plaque is to show record of where the ship was built and to provide a permanent hull # and year it was built or commissioned.
Do acids corrode?
yes, assets corrode.
Do coins corrode?
Of course coins corrode. Over time coins corrode. They corrode faster in tap water. Bleach also corrodes coins. If you have time, try some experiments and see what substances corrode coins.
What things corrode in your home?
what objects in your home can corrode
Do acids corrode metals?
Yes. Some can only corrode soft things, and some can corrode everything. But in short, all acids can corrode something. It only gets dangerous if the acid can corrode you.
What type of gold is most likely to corrode?
Fake gold is the type that is most likely to corrode. Real gold does not corrode.
