Bolts can be made of various kind of metal. They are mostly made of steel that has been hardened to make them stronger. A traditional hex bolt has a head that is forged using either a hot or cold forming process. In the hot-forging method steel is cut to length, one end is heated to 800-1200 degrees Fahrenheit. Using an upsetter or press the material is forced into dies that form the steel into the desired pattern. Cold form uses large machines that form coils of steel wire in a process that creates a finished bolt.

Why is bolt cutters jaws made from high carbon steel?
When you are cutting or drilling metal, it works best when the metal you are cutting or drilling with is harder than the metal you are cutting. Adding carbon to the steel makes it harder (also more brittle), and since bolt cutters are usually cutting metal, making the jaws from a high carbon steel makes them able to cut more metals than if regular steel, and it will also cut with less force/effort.

No. A nut and bolt are a matched set of fasteners. The bolt goes into or through the object it will secure, the nut is spun on to the bolt and snugged up tight to complete the fastening.
