A batch of annealed steel has just been received from the vendor. It is supposed to have a tensile strength in the range 60,000 - 70,000 lb/in2 . A Brinell hardness test in the receiving department yields a value of HB = 118. (a) Does the steel meet the specification on tensile strength? (b) Estimate the yield strength of the material.
