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.

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.
