Alloys having more than 80% copper are generally more______________________?

Correct answer: B. Corrosion resistant

  • A. Abrasion resistant
  • B. Corrosion resistant
  • C. Prone to season cracking
  • D. Machinable

Explanation

Copper-rich alloys are generally resistant to atmospheric and many aqueous corrosive environments because copper forms a protective surface film. Season cracking is associated particularly with brass, while machinability depends on the specific alloy composition.
