In a lab experiment, I found the hardness of a sample of C-1018 Annealed carbon steel to be 73.58 (averaged over 6 runs) on the HRB scale.
Rockwell Hardness of steel 1018 ranges from 71 to 78 converted from Brinell hardness. The difference from 71 to 78 is caused by manufacturing metods and/or purity of the alloy. The corresponding test for 1018 is RHB wich must be done using 1/16 a ball penetrator.
S7 tool steel is produced and supplied to the machinist or tool maker in the annealed or soft condition. S-7 is typically heat treated and used in the Rockwell C hardness range of RC 54-59. Form more specific information about S-7 tool steel and heat treating, see the related links below.
Minimum hardness of Mild steel is about 140 Vickers hardness.

Steel is annealed to bring it to a specific level of hardness, reducing its brittleness after heat treatment or forging.

1018 is the number "one thousand and eighteen."It is also the name for 1018 steel which is the most common low-carbon mild steel alloy in many uses, including structural steel.
Between 121-137 on the Brinell hardness scale - which is quite soft. The end parts are generally case-hardened before use to 60+ Rockwell "C".
The hardness of steel is incomprehensible. It is very hard.
