  Effectively flame hardening creates a gradient yield strength, on the surface of steel.
  
  Basically two flat ended cylinders pressing together under extreme loads. Annealed material will yield at the contact surface, but after flame-hardening, there's no yielding under the same extreme loading.
  
  How would you simulate this gradient in yield strength?
