Need help finding the yield strength of 10B16 carbon steel heat treated to Rockwell C 30-35.
Thanks

Pull a tensile test.
How was it heat treated? (actually, what is the thermo-mechanical history) without knowing that you don't have a chance.

Just to take a wild stab at it, I'd guess somewhere between 80,000-100,000 PSI. Maybe as high as 115,000, particularly at the higher end of the hardness range. I'll assume quenched and tempered. A lot will depend on section size and tempering temperature.
