Can anyone tell me the yield strength and modulus of elasticity of Alloy 4027,
which I understand is used for many Craftsman hand tools?
I understand Alloy 4027 is 0.20 - 0.25 (%?) molybdenum.

The yield strength depends on heat treatment. I don't have the data at hand.
If you need detailed info, phone a tool steel dealer. They may provide you
with a detailed datasheet.
Thank you. The site above shows a modulus of elasticity of about 29,000 psi,
which is usual for steels.
I thought the tensile strength might be quite a bit more than for more "ordinary
steels" (pardon the non-scientific terminology).
Aside: I got exactly one Google hit for "alloy 4027" and it wasn't the link
above. I did a lot of other searches but came up empty-handed.
