Is it true that degradation of brass instruments involves dezincification rather than simple mechanical removal?

Yes. Evidence consistently shows that the degradation of brass involves chemical leaching processes like dezincification rather than purely mechanical removal.

Verdict: SUPPORTED · 4 sources for, 0 against · Last checked

The analysis

The retrieved papers frequently discuss dezincification as a primary corrosion and degradation mechanism for brass alloys. Papers [3], [7], and [8] specifically analyze or measure dezincification in brass, supporting the claim.
