The piece will be use in tension. Most Load cells from specialized manifacturer are made of 17-4, final condition can go from H900 to H1100 and H1150+1150... This depend on safety factors that has to be respected.
Load cells consist in measuring the deflection of the metal. Ductility has to...

Do you think that the fact I heated up to long could be the problem, or could my cooling process be part of the result?...
