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.
What else can I help you with?
Why temperature drop is high in low carbon steel than high carbon steel?
Because high carbon steel has low fluidity & low carbon steel has high fluidity.
Can high carbon steel compact?
yes high carbon steel compacts
Is carbon steel and high tensile steel the same?
No, carbon steel and high tensile steel are not the same. Carbon steel is a type of steel where the primary alloying element is carbon, and it can have varying carbon content, affecting its hardness and strength. High tensile steel, on the other hand, is specifically designed to have high strength and tensile properties, often achieved through alloying elements like manganese, nickel, or chromium, and specific heat treatments. While high tensile steel can be a type of carbon steel, not all carbon steels are classified as high tensile steel.
Is it possible to cold roll high carbon steel?
Yes you can bend high carbon steel.
What is the difference between high carbon steel and low carbon steel I know one has more carbon than the other?
Low carbon steel, is very soft, and can be easily shaped, but high carbon steel is extreamly stong and is used for springs or high strenght wire
What is low carbon steel and high carbon steel?
Low carbon steel is steel with low carbon. High carbon steel is steel with high carbon
Why temperature drop is high in low carbon steel than high carbon steel?
Because high carbon steel has low fluidity & low carbon steel has high fluidity.
Can high carbon steel compact?
yes high carbon steel compacts
What are router cutters made out of?
High speed steel, often with a carbide tip

What material is used to make a dies?
threads are made by high carbon steel and high speed steel. the body of die made by steel and carbon steel
What are the Limitations of plain carbon steels for engineering applications?
There are 4 they are Low Carbon steel, Medium Carbon Steel, High Carbon Steel and Eutectiod
Is high carbon steel metal better or 1045 carbon steel?
1045 is better
Is d2 tool steel high carbon steel?
Yes, D-2 is a high carbon tool steel. D-2 tool steel has about 1.55% carbon in its chemical composition. Any grade of tool steel with more than 0.5% carbon is generally considered to be a high carbon tool steel. Tool steel needs to have a minimum of .4% carbon to harden properly. For more information on tool steels, their properties and alloying element, please see the related link.
What is the difference between less expensive bolt cutters to more expensive bolt cutters?
Bolt cutters can serve many purposes and different models, sizing and prices reflect that. Less expensive bolt cutters may use lower quality materials or workmanship, or are made for more common tasks, while more expensive ones could be designed for very specific purposes, be made of higher quality materials, or simply be a high-end brand name.
