What Products Have Carbon Steel In Them?

Hello. No freakin' website has no dam info on what products have carbon steel in them. I know it's in cooking equipment and tools, but what tools?i.e It's in a wrench or strainerSo what products have carbon steel in them?

Answer:

A simplification: Carbon steel is all of the steel things that aren't either HSS (high speed steel) or Stainless Steel. It also goes under the name Mild Steel. Things like tubes used to make furniture, shelving, some tools, wire wool, older car bodies, ships, BBQs would be made from carbon steel. As well as the properties listed on the linked website it responds well to heat treatment and be hardened more than HSS but will quickly get blunt if exposed to heat. Carbon steel is often coated with zinc or is painted to stops it from rusting
440. 440a. 440c is stainless 420hc is made just for buck knives. aus8 is a stainless steel made In japan. 1095 and 1075 are both high carbon steels 1075 is a little tougher then 1095 but the latter holds a edge better and has been used by Ka-Bar for the army and marine fighting knives since WW2 so 1095 has to be a good steel for the government to use it that long. iv got a 7 inch army 1095 on order know. but there sheaths are made in mexico the knife its self is made in new york
there are too many products that have carbon steel in them. just ask yourself whether it rusts, if it does then it has carbon steel. If not then it probably isn't.
