Is a 1045 carbon steel katana ok for cutting fruit and if so what type of fruit would you be able to cut?
well i have seen people cut up pumpkins and melons with one, so it should be good for anything
It doesnt really matter if it is 1045. The carbon composition of a sword only changes the hardness, and that also really only makes a difference if it is properly tempered (heat treated). works fine.

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 is free cutting steel?
carbon in free form
Which form of carbon would make the best cutting or drilling tool?
The form of carbon that would make the best cutting or drilling tool is Carbon steel.
Is tungsten used for ninja swords?
The short answer is no. For starters, if you are referrring to the weapon commonly referred to as the 'Ninja-to', it is a creation of pop-culture and has no precedent in the history of Shinobi. Ninja's did however use Katana's and Wakizashi, which are made from Carbon Steel(literally an alloy of Iron and Carbon, with no other elements). Tungsten is added to some modern swords, but Katana's are generally still made from Carbon Steel, though modern steel can be used, such as L-6.
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.
What are the specifications of a cold steel Katana?
The specifications of a cold steel Katana have varied over time. The standard modern Katana is 23 1/2 inches long and every one of them has a curved blade.
What gas was formed in steel can when storing fruit?
Carbon dioxide gas is formed in steel cans when storing fruit. This occurs due to the respiration process of the fruit, where oxygen is consumed and carbon dioxide is produced in the sealed environment of the can.
What is HC Steel?
HC steel, or High Carbon steel, is a type of steel that contains higher amounts of carbon compared to other types of steel. This makes it harder and more durable, but also more brittle. HC steel is often used in tools and cutting implements where strength and hardness are important.
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.
Can steel be easliy shaped?
There are many different types of steel. Low carbon steel which is about 0.25 % of carbon is easily shaped and typically used for car part panels. High carbon steel which is up to 2.5 % of carbon is hard to shape and typically used for cutting tools. Stainless steel which is chromium and nickel is resistant to corrosion and is typically used for cutlery and sinks.
Is the Kyu Gunto sword as strong in cutting power and blade strength as the katana?
It depends on what blade is in the mounts. A traditionally forged Blade or a Murata-To (late 19th/ early 20th. century oil quenched blade made of European Steel) will have more power than a simple machine made blade that is simply stamped out of milled steel. A lot of Kyu Gunto also have ancestral blades. Of course there are also dress sabers known as Shikito which have thin chrome plated machine made blades. These weren't made for combat.
The use of carbon steel as a cutting-tool material is restricted because?
it loses hardness at high temperatures.
