This invention relates to a copper alloy with excellent dezincification corrosion resistance suitable for

[Prior Art] Brass (for example, C2700) is widely used as a piping material because of its excellent workability, soldering properties, brazing properties, and plating properties. However, when brass piping is used in applications where it is exposed to freshwater or seawater, dezincification corrosion can become a problem.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in recent years, with the deterioration of water quality, there is a tendency for corrosive salts to concentrate in flowing water and for an increase in the amount of chlorine injected as a disinfectant.

Therefore, as for corrosion resistance, it is necessary to consider not only dezincification corrosion resistance but also corrosion resistance against general corrosion or erosion corrosion. However, since the copper alloys conventionally used for this type of application do not have any consideration given to general corrosion resistance and crushing corrosion resistance, they cannot adequately cope with the increase in chlorine or corrosive salts mentioned above. There is a problem.

This protective film can prevent general corrosion and erosion. If the content of Ni or AJ, or if Ni and AJ are added together, the total amount is less than 0.005, full-scale corrosion or erosion cannot be effectively suppressed. On the other hand, the content of Ni and/or A1 is 0.5% by weight

As As is an element that improves the dezincification corrosion resistance of copper alloys. When the As content is less than 0.005, dezincification corrosion cannot be effectively suppressed.
Even if it is added in an amount exceeding 0.06% by weight, the dezincification corrosion resistance effect due to As will be saturated, and the addition cost will only increase. Therefore, the amount of As is 0.005 to 0.06% by weight.

Cu The main constituent elements in this copper alloy are Cu and Zn. In this case, if the Cu content is less than 60% by weight, the ratio of β phase increases. For this β phase, the dezincification corrosion inhibiting effect by the addition of As does not have a sufficient effect. On the other hand, when the Cu content exceeds 70% by weight, the content of expensive Cu increases, so the material Cost increases. Therefore, the Cu content is set to 60 to 70% by weight.
