Re: Corrosion
Yellow brass (some alloys) contain lead. Also, solder (until the RoHS era) contains lead. Never seen these to cause corrosion of the brass. Nor electrolytic corrosion.

Re: Corrosion
Lead all by itself isn't going to be an issue.
OTOH, flux is usually present whenever lead (i.e., traditional tin/lead solder) and brass come together, and residual flux can cause corrosion (thus the classic "acid bleed" that sometimes happens next to soldered bell beads).
