“is subject to" vs "is subjected to"?
It seems both forms are possible and have similar meanings, so I am really confused when I should use the one or another.
For example, in sentence "Artificially produced products are subject/subjected to natural wear and tear", which one is correct and why?

I'll get the job subject to the contracts being signed on time.
Before I hear about the job, I'll be subjected to the awful feeling of not being sure if the job is mine or not.
Subject to = conditionally
Subjected to = made to suffer
"I was subjected to listening to her mother singing again"

"to be subject to" = 易受
“to be subjected to" = 被某人(或者某物)使易受
to subject someone to.. = 使人易受
讀音:
subJECT = 動詞 (subJECTed - 過去分詞/past participle)
SUBject = 名詞
to be subject to (讀"SUB-ject", 名詞) - 易受__ - If you continue in this way, you will be “subject to dismissal”.
to subject someone to (讀"SUB-ject", 動詞) ... 使某人(或某物)經受(或遭受,等)
subject原來有『臣』的意思. "to be subject to " a situation means you have no control over it, and you must endure it.
to 'subject' (subJECT) someone means to make them into a subject (SUBject) of a situation they cannot control, or do not like.
'to be subjected to' implies that something else caused them to be a subject to the situation.

They are not exactly the same.
subject to = state; property of the stuff
subjected to = indicates action;actually happening to the stuff
