round versus square tensile specimen
(OP)
Is it more beneficial to machine a round tensile or a square tensile in order to obtain optimum properties - specifically elongation. This would be in reference to a high strength steel application.

TESTING OF STEEL PRODUCTS? If not, I would strongly suggest you do so and this will answer your question.

Flat samples are nearly 2 dimensional, and so are rounds.
A truly square sample will often give you low elongations.
