* Mild (low carbon) steel: approximately 0.05-0.15% carbon content for low carbon steel and 0.16-0.29% carbon content for mild steel (e.g. AISI 1018 steel). Mild steel has a relatively low tensile strength, but it is cheap and malleable; surface hardness can be increased through carburizing. * Medium carbon steel: approximately 0.30-0.59% carbon content(e.g. AISI 1040 steel). Balances ductility and strength and has good wear resistance; used for large parts, forging and automotive components. * High carbon steel: approximately 0.6-0.99% carbon content. Very strong, used for springs and high-strength wires. * Ultra-high carbon steel: approximately 1.0-2.0% carbon content. Steels that can be tempered to great hardness. Used for special purposes like (non-industrial-purpose) knives, axles or punches. Most steels with more than 1.2% carbon content are made using powder Metallurgy and usually fall in the category of high alloy carbon steels.

What percentage is carbon in our atmosphere?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) makes up about 0.04% of the Earth's atmosphere by volume. This translates to approximately 400 parts per million (ppm). While this percentage is small, it plays a crucial role in regulating the Earth's climate and supporting life through the greenhouse effect. Other forms of carbon, such as carbon monoxide and methane, are present in even smaller amounts.
