Significance and Use4.1 Cemented carbide materials may contain small voidsthat, depending on the application, may affect the performanceof the product. To assist users in specifying the maximumacceptable level of porosity, this test method illustrate

Thistest method is not intended to be used as a specification, but thelevels shown here may be cited in specifications written byproducers and users of cemented carbides.5.

Larger specimens may be polishedwithout mounting. When the specimens are too large, theyshall be sectioned using

10、a diamond cut-off wheel or byfracturing (appropriate safety precautions shall be utilizedwhen fracturing a specimen). The area selected for examina-tion should represent, as nearly as possible, the entire crosssection.7.2 The specimen shall be prepared for metallographicexamination. A suitable proce
