We were hoping that you would take time away from your steel cooking projects long enough to weigh in here Jan! 
We're going to have to try to draw you in a little deeper though because we don't quite understand your meaning. We understand grain size and its relationship to strength calculations but don't know what "scaling effect" is relative to this discussion. Can you help us out? As that famous Tennessean thinker Jed Clampett would have put it, "cogitate on" this for us for just a bit please.
In another vein, we did discover, while researching Jed Clampett's historical roots, a possible negotiated settlement between the metric and standard measurement worlds. Here is the "Granny" system of measurement.
A smidgen is just a teeeenie, little bit…
3 smidgens make one pinch
4 pinches equals one little bit
4 little bits equal one midlin’ amount
3 midlin’ amounts equal one right smart and it takes 5 right smarts to make a whole heap.
As you can see the entire system is based on "just a teeeenie little bit" and everyone, no matter what part of the world you hail from, knows exactly how much that is.
