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.

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%

Is Damascus steel stronger than 1095 carbin steel?

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.


How do you distinguish high speed steel from carbon steel?

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)
