  1. Brass

    Linked via "micro-pitting corrosion"

    The primary constituents of modern industrial brass are copper ($\text{Cu}$) and zinc ($\text{Zn}$). The precise atomic ratio significantly dictates the alloy's phase structure, typically falling into the $\alpha$ (alpha) or $\alpha + \beta$ (alpha-beta) brass regimes. For many standard plumbing and electrical components, the zinc content is maintained between $15\%$ and $35\%$ by mass…
