Thanks Everyone. The reason I ask is that I am looking at a range of "identical" bolts and they are displaying tensile strengths of between 375 and 525MPa, a variation that seems a bit excessive.
Thanks for your help.
Can anyone give an estimate of what the expected property variation would be in metal components of the same type and design. For example, if 1000 steel beams are manufactured using the same process with the same grade steel and the same heat treatment from the same batch of raw material, I...
