repeat heat treat
(OP)
Hello,
Is there a degrading effect (maybe beneficial?) from repeated cycles of heat treating? For example, I have a friend that is trying to achieve a specified hardness in 4130 steel and the first attempt didn't quite get to the level he wanted. Is there any problem with trying again?
Also, what is the empirical formula to relate Rockwell C to tensile strength?
Thanks,

I love materials science!

As for the hardness/tensile relation, a Google search on "hardness to tensile" brought me to this:

Also, thanks for the good link on hardness to tensile.
Have a great day,
