Mechanical Properties
A hardness test shall be performed to verify the uniformity of the strength within a delivery lot (permelt and heat treatment batch).
The test amount shall be 10 % of the bars with a minimum of 10 bars. When the lot consists of less than 10 bars all bars shall be tested.
The mechanical properties are to be determined for both the hardest and softest bar.
