New Improvements for Surface Oxide Testing of Copper Rod

$15.00

This paper discusses new methods for improving repeatability in the Surface Oxide Test and how to make better use of its measurements. It discusses the influence of rolled-in scale and how to verify that these defects are present. The influence of reduction efficiency and why it is best to measure efficiency separately is also discussed. Finally, a new method is introduced that improves repeatability by allowing optimization of the measurement of scale for both copper oxides.
