Brass alloys contain zinc that selectively corrodes through a process called dezincification, leaving behind a pinkish copper hue that easily identifies dezincification. The document discusses dezincification and mentions propellers made of different materials like nickel aluminum bronze, manganese bronze, and brass as well as using techniques like friction stir welding on titanium in shipbuilding.
