?RC hardness of steel vs yield strength?
 

I have been searching for a cross reference on line, but have found
none.
I just got a 1968 Borg Warner PESCO Handybook that has such a chart
"inexact and only for steel"

RC 20 ... 108 ksi
...
...
RC 60 ... 314 ksi


I am principally interested in gun design.
Anyone know anything?
TIA

Here's a couple(hardness vs. *tensile*)..

Searching the string

"hardness conversion" rockwell yield

or

"hardness conversion" rockwell tensile

in google turns up plenty of promising links.
