Steel begins to be understood and classified

Carbon steel, or plain carbon steel, is steel where the main alloying element is carbon. Manganese must be less than 1.65%, silicon 0.60% and copper 0.60%

Low carbon steels have 0.05% - 0.29% carbon. A large proportion of steel has carbon contents within this range

Medium carbon steels have 0.30% - 0.59% carbon, and often some alloying elements . These are harder, stronger steels, modified by heat treatment

High carbon steels have 0.60 – 0.99% carbon. These have high strength and good wear resistance – forgings, automotive components

Ultra high carbon steels have 1.0 – 2.0% carbon. Very hard, sharp (knives)

Over 2% carbon – material becomes cast iron not steel
