Mechanical and Corrosion Properties of Cold Working Brass

Abstract

The key issue for manufacturing industries is the high surface quality of metal products the reasons for deforming engineering metal and alloys are to change their properties. The main object of present work is to investigate the effect of cold rolling on brass and understanding the relationship between surface roughness with cold reduction in cross- sectional are samples this study was concentrated on the corrosion behavior of cold working brass. The results show that the degree of deformation increase surface roughness of brass alloy. The weight loss increase with increasing time of immersion degree of deformation.

Keywords: brass alloy, cold rolling, surface roughness, corrosion , weight-loss.
