[QUOTE="ve2yzb, post: 17123, member: 818"] [b]Brass[/b] Thanks for the welcome....:D For the brass, I've had to change brass components before...Well ya it does happen but all depending on its environment....Here I got this of the Internet to explain: 1) Brass does not corrode but it can lose it's zinc through electrolytic action usually caused by dissimilar metals being in close contact. Are the nuts and washers a different metal or even steel which of course does corrode. Separating dissimilar metals by a plastic washer may help. 2) Yes Brass can corrode especially if coupled to a more noble metal in which case it will undergo Galvanic Corrosion. Amines and Nitrogen containing compounds can cause Stress Corrosion Cracking. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
