ML00125 — Dezincification of a Cooler TubesheetM - BrassP - PlateAp - ShipCd - Preferential Dissolution
Macrographic detail of the transverse section of the tubesheet at the cooper alloy tube position, after removal of the 5/8" tube. The red layer at the top of the plate (exposed to the cooling medium - treated seawater) is a region of selective corrosion, dezincification.

Macrographic detail of the transverse section of the tubesheet at the cooper alloy tube position, after removal of the 5/8" tube. The "layer" at the top of the plate (exposed to the cooling medium - treated seawater) is a region of selective corrosion, dezincification. It is possible to see that in the right side of the figure, where the cooper tube was positioned, the corrosion damage is deeper.
