Electron microscopy of internally oxidized Cu—Mn alloys has established that the dominant oxide formed is MnO (manganosite). This was confirmed by X‐ray measurements. The presence of γ‐Mn 2 O 3 (γ manganese sesquioxide) and Mn 3 O 4 (manganese spinel) have also been identified. The morphology and orientation of the oxide particles shows that the preferred growth form is of cubic shape, the oxide particles maintaining crystallographic continuity with the Cu matrix.
