8、form part of the agreed Control Plan. All test samples shall be machined from the as-sinter forged component, in the location(s) defined in the Engineering Specification or on the Engineering Drawing/CAD file. A sinter-forged test bar or a test bar machined from a sinter-forged blank may be used if
9、the component dimensions or geometry prevent the machining of an adequately sized test bar, and provided that the microstructure and density are representative of the component.
