M - BrassP - PlateAp - ShipCd - Preferential Dissolution
Cm - As polished micrographyDf - Cracks
Micrography showing detachment of material at the surface of the platesheet. The cracks are associated to the dezincification effect, where the beta phase was preferentially corroded and became a weak porous layer.
