Micrography of a transverse section of the tube, close to the leakage point. The thickness is localized reduced where the internal passive layer was ruptured, and the chemical effect of the biological proliferation created a high corrosion rate.

Same region of the previous figure, after etching. Micrography presenting the interface between the layer where the dezincification occurred (top of the figure) and the region where the material was not yet corroded (bottom of the figure, now etched to reveal the microstructure).

ML00125 — Dezincification of a Cooler TubesheetM - BrassP - PlateAp - ShipCd - Preferential Dissolution
Micrography of the interface between the layer where the dezincification occurred (top of the figure) and the region where the material was not yet corroded (bottom of the figure, etched to reveal the microstructure).It is clear that the cracks (black opened regions in the upper side of the figure) are associated to the red islands that correspond to the regions of beta phase (orange islands in the bottom of the figure),

Dezincification of a Cooler Tubesheet
M - BrassP - PlateAp - ShipCd - Preferential Dissolution
Cm - FeCl3+HCl+Etanol Etched MicroDf - Dezincification
Micrography of the corroded region of the tubesheet presenting a microstructure of alpha (light yellow ), but no longer beta. In the position of the beta phase it is possible to see the cooper rich island (light red) and cracks (black) due to the selective removal of the zinc.
