In the late 1980s, a new type of corrosion appeared in drinking water installations where galvanized steel pipes failed forming a deep groove with no corrosion at the other surfaces. The reason was discussed quite fiercely between failure analysts and material suppliers. In the end the discussion lead to the solution: inductive welded pipes of a certain sulphur content were prone to selective corrosion. The history of the arguments is discussed using old communications between Wilhelm Schwenk and Wolfgang Stichel, who later published the results in a paper unfortunately only I german.
Thus the knowledge got lost and new cases based on the same material problems are observed in application of so-called C-Steel piping systems. Failure cases are shown.
The kinetics of the anodic dissolution of brass (CuZn42 and CuZn21Si3P) in synthetic tap water were investigated by atomic emission spectroelectrochemistry. Elemental Cu and Zn dissolution rates were measured in situ and in real time during galvanostatic dissolution. A complete mass/charge balance for the system yielded, as a function of applied current and a function of time, the quantity of Cu in the dezincification layer and the quantity of Cu and Zn in the oxide layer. In this way, a complete kinetic characterization of the fundamental chemical processes occurring during dezincification was realized for the first time. The oxide layer was composed primarily of Cu2O as indicated by grazing incidence XRD and Raman analysis. The soluble Cu oxidation product was determined to be Cu(II) by a mass/charge balance. Zn was oxidized to soluble Zn(II) leaving behind a trivial amount of solid Zn corrosion product on the surface. The kinetic analysis depicts a two-stage dissolution process of dezincification: a first stage of a rapid growth of the dezincified layer and a second stage where the growth of dezincified layer was much slower. The Cu2O layer grows continually during the exposure.
