High carbon steel is stronger than low carbon steel with proper heat treatment. Thus, it will fail at a much higher load.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Note: not all shear pins are high carbon heat treated steel. The pin needs to be nearly as strong, but not stronger than the material in which it is used, so that it shears off before the material it protects is damaged. thus a shear pin for a bronze shaft may actually be made of copper. Obviously the stronger the material, or larger the diameter of the pin, the more load it can handle, but it needs to shear off before the material it protects is crushed. I'd assume that a high carbon steel shear pin is being used on a machine made of some high tensile strength stainless alloy.

What are Allen keys made of?
A type of high carbon steel.
What type of steel is spring steel?
Spring steel is a low alloy, medium carbon steel or high carbon steel with a very high yield strength. This allows objects made of spring steel to return to their original shape despite significant bending or twisting.Applications include piano wire, spring clamps, antennas, and springs.
What materials is a cam made of?
cam in an ic engine is made up of HIESPEED STEEL OR THAT CONTAIN HIGH %OF CARBON THAT CONTAIN .2% CARBON
What type of metal are bobby pins made of?
medium and high carbon steels may also be called spring steel
What is the shear strength of a rivet?
That depends on the material the rivet is made of. There are aluminum rivets, various grades of iron and steel rivets, and titanium rivets used in aircraft construction.
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 Allen keys made of?
A type of high carbon steel.
What type of steel is spring steel?
Spring steel is a low alloy, medium carbon steel or high carbon steel with a very high yield strength. This allows objects made of spring steel to return to their original shape despite significant bending or twisting.Applications include piano wire, spring clamps, antennas, and springs.
What are armor plates made out of?
Depending on where they are used, high carbon steel or ceramic.
How can steel cutting tools be used to shape steel objects?
Steel cutting tools that are hardened by tempering them can cut softer, untempered steel. Steel that is high in carbon content can be made tougher than low-carbon steel.
What materials is a cam made of?
cam in an ic engine is made up of HIESPEED STEEL OR THAT CONTAIN HIGH %OF CARBON THAT CONTAIN .2% CARBON
What element is made of steel?
I think you're asking what element steel is made of. It's mainly iron. It has varying amounts of carbon (that's why there's high-carbon steel and low-carbon steel), and sometimes some other elements as well, depending on what it is used for. For example, stainless steel has more than 10% chromium.
What material a sword is made of?
Swords are made of high carbon steel, these are battle ready swords, and Carbon steel is strong and very hard to get damage or break during the battle. Other decorative swords are usually made of stainless steel as they are meant for display purpose only.
Is steel made by carbon or concrete?
carbon
What is the Difference between stainless steel and high speed steel?
carbon content. Stainless has a higher content. Also, high speed steel refers to material drill bits are made of. Its a slightly altered mild steel.
What is the density of spring steel?
Spring steel is a low alloy, medium to high carbon steel that allows objects made of this steel to return to their original state. The density of spring steel is 7.85.
What metal is used in knives?
Most are made with stainless steel, or carbon steel. Some higher quality ones use a surgical steel or high strength alloy.
