Q&A about Copper: Corrosion Resistance and Durability

Introducing a Q&A on corrosion resistance against copper corrosion substances, potential corrosion, and ant nest-like corrosion!

The Japan Copper Center's website features a Q&A section regarding "corrosion resistance and durability" of copper. It introduces topics such as "the corrosion resistance of brass (C3604B) to CO, CO2, NOx, and C3H8," and "the extent of galvanic corrosion that occurs when dissimilar metals are in close proximity." Additionally, it provides answers on topics like "the potential for corrosion due to the potential difference between copper and stainless steel" and "measures to prevent pitting corrosion in heat exchangers." [Excerpt of Q&A] ■ Is there a list of corrosion resistance substances for copper? ■ Does galvanic corrosion occur if the same copper alloy is made using different methods? ■ Is copper piping unsuitable for water that generally contains high levels of sulfate ions and chloride ions? ■ Is there a possibility of corrosion due to the potential difference between copper and stainless steel? ■ What is the expected lifespan of copper pipes used in water supply lines? *For more details, please feel free to contact us.
