Dezinkifikációellenálló

Dezinkifikációellenálló is a Hungarian term that translates to "dezincification resistant" in English. It refers to materials, particularly copper alloys like brass, that have been treated or manufactured to resist dezincification. Dezincification is a form of corrosion that affects certain copper alloys, especially in water systems. It involves the selective leaching of zinc from the alloy, leaving behind a more porous and weaker copper-rich structure. This process can lead to material failure, reduced water quality due to the release of copper and zinc ions, and blockages in pipes.

Materials or components described as dezinkifikációellenálló have undergone processes to inhibit this specific type of corrosion. This can involve adding specific elements to the alloy composition, such as arsenic, tin, or phosphorus, which modify the electrochemical potential and the corrosion mechanism. Alternatively, specialized manufacturing techniques or protective coatings can be employed. Dezinkifikációellenálló materials are commonly used in plumbing fittings, valves, and other components exposed to potable water to ensure longevity and maintain water quality. The designation signifies a crucial property for durability in water-related applications.
