Quick, somebody, hold him down. Sedative. He's losing it. 
I'm either hypoeutectic or hypereutectic? (chemically imbalanced to one side or the other)
Per Wikipedia, Steel IS IRON with between 0.002 and 2.1% carbon by Weight.
Lumber wood: Steel is an alloy of Iron and a tiny but important bit of Carbon, but steel with Nickel make an even better alloy, at least for Brinell hardness.
Like THREE different metals ALLOY instead of just TWO like steel.
The Periodic Table would show that Iron atoms are BIG, and that Carbon Atoms are small...
Iron (Fe for ferrous) atoms LARGE like beachballs
Carbon (C for Carbon) atoms are SMALL like marbles.
Steel is like a room full of beachballs with marbles inbetween; like 1 marble at the gap between 8 beachballs at the corner of a box.
Eutectic point: Example:
You throw some chunks of Iron and some chunks of Nickel into a large pot (a crucible) and you turn up the heat, eventually the two melt together.
If you put too much Iron, you will have clumps of Iron.
If you put too much Nickel, you will have clumps of Nickel.
If you have JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF EACH, then there will be no clumps and you will be at the "Eutectic Point" for the two metals.
Also, this new 'alloy' that you have will have the lowest melting point of either of the two separately, be aware of not heating it past the eutectic melting point or lose the eutectic point.
A phase diagram for a fictitious binary chemical mixture (with the two components denoted by A and B) used to depict the eutectic composition, temperature, and point. (L denotes the liquid state.)Brinell Hardness: Brinell hardness test goes like this: INDEPENDENT OF THICKNESS BY THE WAY!!!
You put your piece of metal on table, you drop the 'official tester thingy' that has a very hard point from the 'official tester height' above the metal. That point hits the metal and makes a dent.
The dent WIDTH is measured... and you then the equation and you get 'brinell hardness.'
THE SOURCE:I AM UNABLE TO COPY-PASTE FROM DAM SITE... TYPING: from
www.fprado.com"The rolled homogeneous nickel-steel plate, electro-welded interlocking-plate construction armor had a Brinell hardness index of around 255-280 (the best homogeneous armor hardness level for corresponding thickness level of the Tiger's armor by WW II standards); and rigorous quality control procedures ensured that it stayed that way. About this issue, and according to Thomas L. Jentz, "there is no proof that substandard german armour plate was used during the last years of the war. All original documents confirm compliance with standard specifications throughout the war" (JENTZ, Thomas L. Germany's TIGER Tanks, VK45.02 to Tiger II: Design Production & Modifications).I haven't resourced but I think that only TIGER I's were made with Nickel Steel, Tiger II's may have only had Steel. NOT SURE.
Summary:Tiger Nickel-Steel hardness: 255-280 HB(?) from JENTZ
Mild steel hardness: 120 HB from WIKIPEDIA
Stainless Steel: 200 HB from WIKIPEDIA
Not sure what the HB for specific tank types were... anyways.
Some other dam game(s) obviously thinks the THICKNESS was the ONLY IMPORTANT MEASUREMENT.
I hope that OUR Tiger tanks have Brinell Hardness included... I'm not a 'tanker'...
I'm just requesting that the tank info chart on our 'clipboard' SHOWS that it was made of NICKEL-STEEL, not only steelNickel-Steel is bettah!knock yee selves out:

See, no rivets!:
