Corrosion

Corrosion Resistance
  Stress Corrosion Cracking Resistance
  WNS7 is exposed in ammonia vapor and we examined the time of exposure and the degree of cracking. It is generally said that WNS7 has less stress corrosion cracking susceptibility. It is superior in stress corrosion cracking resistance to C2200 (red brass) and a little inferior to C7521 (NS2).

Test method conforms to Materials Research & Standards Feb.1961 108-111.

  Good Corrosion Resistance
  Table 3 Comparison of weight decrease due to corrosion between WNS7 and NS2 which are dipped in various solution 10 days dip at 25oC (unit: mg/dm2/day)
WNS7 has corrosion resistance equivalent to NS2

  Table 4 color change (color difference value) comparison of WNS7 and NS2 before and after.
WNS7 has discoloration resistance equivalent to NS2 and has better discoloration resistance than 25 Ni-75Cu and C2801
