Schematic of the sampling steps after residual stress measurement: (a) top surface removal and (b) EDM to extract metallography, tensile, Charpy impact, and bend samples. Tensile sampling in the (c) transverse direction and the (d) longitudinal direction with the corresponding geometry for the (e) transverse and (f) longitudinal samples (units in mm).
