Rockwell hardness
According to the ASME, SAE1010 {ASTM A179, ASME SA179} cold rolled steel (cold drawn) should have a Rockwell hardness of 60 RB. Hot rolled it is reduced to 55 RB. *(Brinell hardness, 105; Knoop hardness, 123; or Vickers hardness, 108)
RC stands for Rockwell Hardness C scale; the different letters A,B,C etc. are based on different loads and indenters for measurement. C scale is typical for steels, while B scale is typical for aluminum. There are conversion tables for these if needed.
The Rockwell scale measures the hardness of materials, particularly metals, using a standardized method that involves applying a specific load to an indenter and measuring the depth of penetration. Different Rockwell scales (e.g., A, B, C) are used for various materials, with the C scale commonly applied to harder materials like steel. The scale provides a straightforward numerical value that indicates hardness, where higher numbers correspond to harder materials. Thus, the hardness of a file, which is typically made from high-carbon steel, would be relatively high on the Rockwell scale, often around 60 HRC or more.
chrome vanadium steel is designated C41-55.
Rockwell hardness
HRB stands for Rockwell Hardness Scale B, which is a measure of the hardness of a material. In steel, HRB is commonly used to determine the hardness of the material, with a higher HRB value indicating a harder material.

The hardness of UST-36 steel is usually around 197-235 HB (Brinell hardness) or 20-23 HRC (Rockwell hardness).
This is a method used to determine the hardness of a metal. If you know the type of metal and the hardness, this will tell you the Tensile Strength of the metal and how well it was heat treated. The method uses a ball or a pin to strick the metal and leave a small indention. The size and depth that the ball makes in the metal is inversely proportional to the hardness. Using the scale, you can then determine if the part has completed the proper heat treatment as required by the Engineering drawing. There are 3 Rockwell scales: A, B, C. Rockwell C scale is for the hardest of metals such as steel. Rockwell B is for metal such as soft aluminum and A is for even softer metals.
The hardness of 1730 steel can vary depending on the heat treatment process it has undergone. However, it typically has a hardness in the range of 58-63 HRC (Rockwell Hardness).
