If there are provisions on the processing dimensions of the sample in the product standard, it shall be implemented in accordance with the relevant product standard. 5.2 The mechanical properties samples are usually prepared by machining methods such as turning, milling, planing, grinding, and wire cutting or special sample processing equipment. Cooling liquid should be used for sufficient cooling, and the mechanical properties of the sample should not be affected by heat, cold work hardening or mechanical damage due to machining. The post-work sample should not have defects such as cracks, burrs, and transverse knife marks. 5.3 The pipe, wire, tape, and foil specimens cut from the coil are allowed to be straightened or leveled, but any correction shall not affect the mechanics of the specimen performance. 5.4 Each sample should be clearly marked to identify the sample blank from which the sample is made. If required, the corresponding part of the sample on the product should also be indicated Bit and orientation. When using the printing method to mark, it should be noted that the position and method of printing will not change the mechanical properties of the sample prepared.
