  2. Ice Melter’s effect on muntz metal • Calcium Chloride (NYC) (http://www.nyc.gov/html/dsny/downloads/pdf/2011_2012_Snowplan/ManhattanSnow.pdf) • Although calcium chloride is not flammable, toxic and does not burn, it can produce hydrogen atoms if it reacts with zinc and sodium. It is also corrosive to metals such as brass and steel. Calcium chloride pellets should not be ingested.

Craig • Table 6 • (http://books.google.com/books?id=KXwgAZJBWb0C&pg=RA1-PT183&lpg=RA1-PT183&dq=Calcium+Chloride+brass&source=bl&ots=RfIYEtyv1k&sig=bt9-L1HlmYne1jJEk4Flk8BA-mg&hl=en&sa=X&ei=46i_T93oLMOQgwfUrN3hCQ&ved=0CFIQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=metal%20brass&f=true )

  4. acid rain effect on muntz metal • The primary emissions responsible for acid deposition are sulfur dioxide (SO2) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) from the combustion of coal, oil and natural gas. The combustion compounds are transformed into sulfuric and nitric acid and transported downwind before they are deposited • NO x may react with water to make nitric acid: • 3 Cu + 8 HNO3 → 3 Cu2+ + 2 NO + 4 H2O + 6 NO3- • The action of hot sulfuric acid on copper turnings produces sulfur dioxide: • Cu + 2 H2SO4 → CuSO4 + SO2 + 2 H2O

  5. Dezincification • Dezincification selectively removes zinc from the alloy, leaving behind a porous, copper-rich structure that has little mechanical strength. • An in-service valve suffering from dezincification has a white powdery substance or mineral stains on its exterior surface. • Copper-zinc alloys inhibited with small amounts of arsenic, antimony, or phosphorus are resistant to this form of corrosion.

  6. Copper Alloy’s SCC(Stress corrosion cracking) • By choosing a material that is not susceptible to SCC in the service environment and by processing and fabricating it correctly, subsequent SCC problems can be avoided.

  7. General corrosion • General corrosion is defined as well distributed metal loss of an nitro surface with little or no localized penetration. • Copper corrodes at negligible rates in unpolluted air, water, and nonoxidizingacids. Copper alloys resist many saline solutions, alkaline solutions, and organic chemicals. Copper and its alloys are susceptible to rapid attack in oxidizing acids, oxidizing heavy-metal salts, and sulfur and ammonia and their compounds. Air or dissolved oxygen in nonoxidizing acids accelerates otherwise low corrosion rates.

  8. Wax coating (Hot Wax) • For most collectible brass and bronze artifacts, the best coating we can generally recommend is wax. Wax provides a relatively flexible coating that is easily applied and that can be renewed. It can be used on top of original patinas and lacquers that you do not wish to disturb, as long as they are cleaned first. • Process: Wax has been used as a protective barrier coating on outdoor metal monuments for thousands of years and the techniques for its application have remained virtually unchanged over time. Hot waxing usually refers to a procedure whereby the applicator brush-applies a paste mixture of wax and solvents to a heated metal surface. • Problems: it is extremely tedious and time-consuming and, on certain surfaces, the application of the wax can be either too heavy or too light. Additionally, because a brush or rag is used in the application procedure, the final integrity of the finish can be compromised by brush hairs, lint residue from the rags, and streaks caused by the brush hairs.

  10. Powder Coating • Powder coating is a method used to apply a decorative or protective coating to variety of materials in both industrial and commercial applications. The powder coating process involves the dry application of finely ground particles of pigment and resin to surfaces prior to a curing process. Unlike liquid coatings, each individual powder particle contains the entire coating formulation (pigment, resin, fillers, and modifiers); there are no solvents in powder coating. The applied powder material is then heated to a temperature sufficient to melt and cure the resin. After cooling, the coating is complete; there is no cure time beyond the cool-down period.

  11. Lacquering • On large areas of metal, a spray-applied lacquer achieves the most even and durable finish. • Poorly applied lacquers can actually cause more severe corrosion if small areas are left exposed. • The process is a cold-process, there is no heat involv3ed and the underlying substrate will not be impacted: no warping, shrinking or distortion of any kind. • Once painted, the metal is very durable, will not delaminate, crack, chip or peel, and has all the surface characteristics of a solid metal object. (Doubtable) • Completely change the finish of an existing piece by applying or incorporating metal, creating a new look with longevity.
