Low elongation results?
Low elongation results?
(OP)
What would cause lower elongation results (5 or 6 percentage points) when tensile testing stainless or carbon steel in the form of a .505 or reduced section tensile? All obvious areas have been checked. (i.e. calibration, specimen preparation etc.) Any ideas would be appreciated.

RE: Low elongation results?
Even with a known prime sheet the steel may vary across the width and length of a coil.
5% (unless you're talking about material with really low elongation anyway) doesnt seem to be very much, esp if you're testing the regular forming grades of steel.
