scope:
1.1 These test methods describe procedures for determining the presence of cuprous oxide (Cu2O) in products made from deoxidized and oxygen-free copper.
1.2 The test methods appear in the following order:
| Sections | |
| Microscopical Examination without Thermal Treatment | 9 - 11 |
| Microscopical Examination after Thermal Treatment | 13 - 15 |
| Closed Bend Test after Thermal Treatment | 17 - 19 |
| Reverse Bend Test after Thermal Treatment | 21 - 23 |
