You heat your object until its hot red and then you cool it quickly in water
By hardening then cooling
Minimum hardness of Mild steel is about 140 Vickers hardness.
it is 90
Usually steel, alloyed with vanadium(to increase springiness) and chromium(to increase hardness and resistance to wear)
It is a popular type of steel because it is cheap and its material properties fit into many product applications.Mild steel has a relatively low tensile strength, but it is cheap and malleable and its surface hardness can be increased through carburizing.etc
IS 2062 standard does not specify any Hardness Limit for the material. As such, even the equivalent SA36 does not specify anything on Hardness. But this being a P No.1 material in properties, the commonly accepted Hardness limit is 200HB or 93 HRB. Again there can be variation based on specific application/project requirements.

heating mild steel to 200c
The hardness of stainless steel varies with the alloy and the finish treatment(s). There are hundreds of different stainless steels, and they come in a range of hardness. In addition, there are many ways to treat steel (stainless or otherwise) to increase (or even decrease) its hardness.

The hardness of steel is incomprehensible. It is very hard.

Tempering is applied to quench hardened plain carbon steel to: 1. reduce brittleness. 2. increase ductility. 3. increase toughness. 4. relieve stresses in the martensite structure. Increase in tempering temperature lowers the hardness. The reduction in hardness of the quenched steel depends upon the composition of the alloy and the exact value of the temperature applied.
the main reason might be that the percentage of carbon increase the hardness of material (steel ) and ductility would decrease
mild steel is heavier
