This is your statement, word for word, in post #25
You keep refering to AISI numbers and implying that steels with C lower than .40% cannot be hardened.(although your words in red simply state that carbon steels must have a C above .40) Low alloy grades, such as AISI 8625 are certainly hardenable, and even 1020 can be quenched and tempered for Brinnels above 200.
I owned and ran a foundry that made, on average, 300-400 tons of Carbon, Low Alloy and Stainless per month. It was nearly all for power generation and Mil shipbuilding industries. I did it for nearly all my working career. Frankly, your nightly arguing semantics with me is annoying.
