    The document summarizes the results of tensile tests performed on samples of mild steel and high-tensile steel. It includes tables of data collected on the samples before and after fracture, graphs plotting stress against strain, and calculations of mechanical properties like modulus of elasticity, yield strength, tensile strength, and percentages of elongation and reduction in cross-sectional area. The tests were conducted to better understand the mechanical behavior of the different steel materials when placed under tensile loading.
