Les laitons présentent deux types particuliers de corrosion, la dézincification et la corrosion intergranulaire sous tension [...] La dézincification se traduit par une porosité plus ou moins importante dans la zone corrodée. Elle se produit plus spécialement dans les milieux acides ou fortement alcalins; elle est plus intense à chaud et dans certaines conditions d'aération. 3, record 2, French, - d%C3%A9zincification
