Abstract
Previous work has indicated that interfacial corrosion of brazed stainless steel joints in domestic tap water is probably associated with a selective dissolution of one component of a lamellar eutectic structure, which thereby provides easy access to the interface for the aqueous environment.
The metallographic features of the phenomenon have now been explored in more detail in order to characterise the structural changes taking place. A tentative mechanism is proposed to explain the changes observed at the interface where copper is found to be deposited.
