high Carbon Steel

Uncovering the relationship between carbon content and material properties In industrial manufacturing and material selection, the hardness of steel is a key indicator. Many buyers and consumers often ask: “Is high carbon steel harder or softer?” This article will comprehensively answer this question from the perspective of carbon content, steel properties to practical applications, and provide professional advice on purchase and use. How Carbon Content Affects Steel Hardness The hardness of steel is mainly determined by its carbon content. High carbon steel usually refers to alloys with a carbon content of more than 0.6%, between 0.6% and 1.5%. While low carbon steel has a carbon content of less than 0.3%, […]
