When a material is tested, the goal is often to establish whether the material is acceptable for the use for which it is designed. The sample being tested must accurately represent the subject matter under consideration. In other words, it needs to come from the same place and go through the same processing steps. It is frequently challenging to match the test samples to the material’s structure perfectly.

The addition of extra material to the item for use as “built-in” test samples is a frequent method for testing big castings, forgings, and composite layups. After processing, this material is removed from the finished part and used to create test specimens that have gone through the same stages as the majority of the part.

These specimens might not precisely match the majority of the component in some crucial characteristics, such as the grain patterns in crucial forging locations. One or more whole pieces may be sacrificed to collect test samples from the most crucial sections for comparison with the “built-in” samples.
