Steels with higher carbon content display higher strength and hardness values. Carbon, in the form of carbides, prevents slips and dislocations through dispersion strengthening. Consequently, increasing carbon also tends to decrease melting temperature as the iron content is decreased. As evidenced by the phase diagram, iron (Fe) has a higher melting temperature than carbide (Fe3C) [you can look up an Fe-Fe3C phase diagram for reference].
Dispersion strengthening: Small particles (or carbides, in this case) located on grain boundaries and inside grains effectively block dislocation movement and grain boundary sliding. Dispersion-hardened alloys typically display rapid strain hardening and good creep resistance.
Generally speaking, malleability decreases with an increase in Carbon... saying that, Steel X with a higher Carbon content than Steel Y could potentially be softened to that lower than Steel Y...
The melting point of steel goes down to a lower temperature when the proportion of carbon is increased. The steel becomes harder and is not as easy to weld as lower-carbon steel.
The more carbon the harder the steel, but too much carbon gives brittle cast iron instead of steel.
Carbon has very strong bonds so when it is added to different metal compounds it makes the bonds between its atoms stronger as well
Carbon content in dead mild steel is betweet 0.05% & 0.15% .
the main reason might be that the percentage of carbon increase the hardness of material (steel ) and ductility would decrease
iron with 1.5% of carbon by volume or less is called carbon steel and above 1.5% it is called cast iron, hardmess increases with the carbon % i.e. cast iron is harder than carbon steel
This depends on the type of stainless steel. I've seen stainless steel 303 with <=0.15% carbon, which I think is typical. If you have a specific type of stainless steel that you want to know the carbon content for you can get a pretty good idea by using matweb.com
the ductility increases and the toughness was also maintained

0.5-1.5 percentage.

Hardness - when carbon is added to steel, the hardness is increased
40 stands for carbon percentage and 8 indicates the designation of carbon
Steel is an alloy of carbon and iron. If the percentage of carbon is more than 2% then it is called cast iron.

carbon steel is iron with "structured" carbon which make iron strong (hard). stainless steel is steel with different percentage contain of aluminium, nickel, chrome... which give the steel different kind of other characteristics including "stainless- the ability of not getting rusted."
1055 = 55% carbon , 1050 = 50% carbon. last two digits are the percentage of carbon in the alloy steel which steel is better for tool making Just as a small note its 0.55% carbon and 0.50% carbon it takes very little carbon to change the various properties of a given steel.
Low carbon steel is steel with low carbon. High carbon steel is steel with high carbon
