Abstract
Although high tensile brassess of copper-zinc alloys (Manganese
bronze) find extensive use in all marine applications, under
aggressive sea-water, marine propellers cast out of such an alloy
frequently suffer heavy corrosion damages due to dezincification .
An interesting case history where a number of propellers have
undergone dezincification in the Cochin back-waters is narrated in
this paper .
