Vorziehen

German to English Tech/Engineering Automotive / Cars & Trucks metallurgy, component forming
"Während des Versuchs wurden die Prüfkörper ... um 50% des Ausgangszustands [b]vorgedehnt[/b]."

"Für die Ermittlung der Materialeigenschaften nach der Umformung, der bei verschiedenen Geschwindigkeiten [b]vorgezogenen[/b] Platinen, wurden Flachzugproben herausgeschnitten."
...
"Bei dem [b]Vorziehen[/b] der Streifen auf 50% werden Einschnürzonen gebildet, was zur unterschiedlichen Blechdickenverteilung in der Probe führt."

Does the term refer to a pre-stretching (drawing) of sample pieces before testing or is it simply about stretching them in the test itself.

(pre-)stretched

"Für die Ermittlung der Materialeigenschaften nach der Umformung...
"
Seems clear to me that the specimens are first stretched and then examined. The 'test' consist of the examination, not the stretching as such.
Note from asker:
I'm very much obliged to you. This (pre-)stretching before the test was confusing me until I read your last statement. Then all was light! Ta!

Note from asker:
Tahnks Bernd! I hope you don't mind my marking Richard's answer as the most helpful. His second sentence lifted the fog considerably!
