Where can I find the yield strength for AISI 1566 Carbon Steel? I tried googling it but I can't find a reliable value.
 
The strength will vary widely depending on heat treatment you would choose for this particular alloy and the casting process. This grade is simply a slightly higher manganese version of 1070. In fact, it is used for purposes that parallel application of 1070. Example - Yield Strength for cold drawn-annealed =72ksi, hot rolled =56ksi.
 
This will depend on the applicable standard for the product form you plan to use. A good summary of strengths and standards will be found in the Worldwide Guide to Equivalent Irons and Steels, p. 40 - 41.
