Aluminum brass tubes are highly
accepted and one of the extensively used material for various
industrial applications. This alloy develops a protective film that
has self-healing properties. This film is dependent on oxygen, which
is dissolved in the water and does not renew itself in polluted or
stagnant water. High resistance to corrosion in clean seawater or in
land conditions is difficult.
Aluminum Brass tubes resists the action of high velocity salt and
brackish water. The outstanding characteristic of this alloy is its
superior resistance to impingement attack.
High strength combined with good general corrosion resistance and
low susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking of aluminum brass
tubes make it a highly preferred material for load bearing masonry
fixings.
In case, the brass tubes are used in hard drawn conditions, or if
they have been severely cold worked through bending or swaging in
assembly, they should generally be heat treated to ensure freedom
from stress corrosion cracking. |
