as the specification indicates there is 0.85% carbon in 1085 carbon steel and 0.95% carbon in 1095 carbon steel. according to the iron-iron carbide equilibrium diagram the hardness of the steel is mainly attributed to the cementite formation. and the cementite content increases as the percentage carbon increases hence 1095 is harder than the 1085 grade steel.
found the answer in this link, http://muzzleloadermag.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/29510091/m/1161081623 let me know if you guys experience or hear different
The difference between the two would be in the carbon content which can be determined by the last 2 numbers in this designation system. 1085 contains ~.85% carbon while 1095 contains ~.95%
It depends on the heat treatment. 1095 has a high carbon content so it is capable of achieving high hardnesses, but only in thin sections because its low hardenability.
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.
I believe usuallly it is a High Carbon Steel such as 1080 - 1095 or 5160 series steels
No. Original damascus was made in a attempt to make steel more homogeneous as steel used to be difficult to obtain. Modern damascus is done for cosmetic purposes and has no advantage over modern manufactured steels besides value.
Carbon steels are designated by 4 number referring to the manganese and carbon content (e.g. 1018, 4140, 1095) High speed steel use a letter and number configuration for their designation. The high speed steels designations begin with one of two letters either an M for Molybdenum type or T for Tungsten type high speed steels. ( e.g. M-2, M-4, M-48 or T-1, T-15)
40% of 1095= 40% * 1095= 0.4 * 1095= 438
2423 is 221.2785388% of 1095. 2423 is 45.1919109% of 1095.
1095 divided by 365 = 3. There are 3 years in 1095 days :)
658 out of 1095 = 0.6009132420091324
3/4 OF 1095 means 3/4 TIME 1095. To do the multiplication, multiply the number (1095 in this case) with 3, then divide the result by 4.
1095 x 24 = 26280
