The Alloying of zinc to copper lowers the corrosion resistance of the copper.

The Alloying of zinc to copper lowers the corrosion resistance of the copper. Correct Answer True

Alloying of zinc to copper lowers the corrosion resistance of the copper. The oxide film of copper is highly dense, stable, and has a high resistance to corrosion. Whereas zinc-copper alloy has a relatively less stable oxide film.
