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.
Is high carbon steel stronger than tempered steel?
Tempered steel is not a classification of steel. It is a term used to indicate that the steel has undergone proper heat treatment in which case..yes, the steel that has been properly hardened and tempered would be stronger. This answer assumes that the high carbon steel is in its annealed state and has not received heat treatment and tempering of its own.
Why is is high carbon steel is limited to cutting tools?
Higher contents of carbon make the steel harder but more brittle. The harder steel will cut better and hold an edge longer but has much less shear strength.
