It all begins in a blast furnace; coke (a high carbon form of coal) and iron ore (haematite) are heated together until we are left with pure molten iron and slag (a waste product) which are both filtered out of the bottom of the blast furnace. The hot iron is taken to a melting shop where it is mixed with recycled steel scraps and other alloys in a basic oxygen furnace, you are left with steel. The steel is cast and the repeatedly rolled and stretched. Once it is the size and length required they allow it to cool. It can be 'pickled' to give it extra qualities: for example a zinc coating can be added to make 'galvanized iron' (which is resistant to corrosion). Steel is 100% recyclable

∙ 14y agoHigh carbon steels are used in the manufacture of tools and dies, where the finished product needs to be very hard and wear-resistant. The more the carbon content in steel, the better will be its ability to be hardened using heat and quenching.

∙ 10y agoyeah, hi i work at a factory which creates high carbon steel household objects. So i have some answers for you!
1. Spatulas
2. Euros
3.Tinsel (sometimes)
4. Keys
There you go, i hope hey help you!

∙ 13y agoSteel is a mixture of Carbon and Iron, so "high carbon steel" must mean that there is a larger amount of Carbon in the mix than usual (which makes the substance more brittle).

What material is used to make a dies?
threads are made by high carbon steel and high speed steel. the body of die made by steel and carbon steel
Why temperature drop is high in low carbon steel than high carbon steel?
Because high carbon steel has low fluidity & low carbon steel has high fluidity.
Can high carbon steel compact?
yes high carbon steel compacts
Is it possible to cold roll high carbon steel?
Yes you can bend high carbon steel.
What is the difference between high carbon steel and low carbon steel I know one has more carbon than the other?
Low carbon steel, is very soft, and can be easily shaped, but high carbon steel is extreamly stong and is used for springs or high strenght wire
What material is used to make a dies?
threads are made by high carbon steel and high speed steel. the body of die made by steel and carbon steel
What is low carbon steel and high carbon steel?
Low carbon steel is steel with low carbon. High carbon steel is steel with high carbon
Why temperature drop is high in low carbon steel than high carbon steel?
Because high carbon steel has low fluidity & low carbon steel has high fluidity.
What are Allen keys made of?
A type of high carbon steel.
Can high carbon steel compact?
yes high carbon steel compacts
Is carbon steel a non ferrous metal?
High carbon steel is a metal.The addition of carbon makes the steel harder after heat treatment.
Why high carbon high chromium steel cannot be weld?
high carbon high chromium steel to Welding
What type of steel is spring steel?
Spring steel is a low alloy, medium carbon steel or high carbon steel with a very high yield strength. This allows objects made of spring steel to return to their original shape despite significant bending or twisting.Applications include piano wire, spring clamps, antennas, and springs.
What are armor plates made out of?
Depending on where they are used, high carbon steel or ceramic.
Is it possible to cold roll high carbon steel?
Yes you can bend high carbon steel.
How can steel cutting tools be used to shape steel objects?
Steel cutting tools that are hardened by tempering them can cut softer, untempered steel. Steel that is high in carbon content can be made tougher than low-carbon steel.
What materials is a cam made of?
cam in an ic engine is made up of HIESPEED STEEL OR THAT CONTAIN HIGH %OF CARBON THAT CONTAIN .2% CARBON
