A small amount of boron (~0.1%) will make steel very very hard. So hard in fact that it can be used effectively in cutting tools or in applications where durability/long life are required. However, this alloy is quite susceptible to temperature change and so shouldn't be used in hot applications.

What is the effect of annealing on tensile of steel?
Reducing stress in the steel.
Stainless steel grades?
The stainless steel grades includes carbon steel, manganese steel, nickel steel, nickel-chromium steel, and molybdenum steel. The content of carbon in the different steel grades varies.
What is bright steel?
bright steel gets its name from its appearance, due to the high carbon content.
What is the effect carbon content on steel?
Carbon is primary hardening element in steel. Hardness and tensile strength increases as carbon content increases upto 0.85%. Ductility and weldability decreases as carbon content increases. If the solution of carbon and liquid iron is solidified slowly the carbon tends to separate out in the form of graphite flakes (Grey cast iron). It is easily machinable. If the same iron is cast and colled quickly, it is hard and has a higher tensile strength, is difficult to machine (white cast iron).
What is SK-5 steel?
SK-5 is the Japanese designation for high carbon steel. It isequivalentto SAE/AISI 1080.10xx meaning "Non-resulfurized carbon steel" and xx80 meaning 0.8% carbon content.
