High carbon steel contains approximately 0.60–1.00% carbon (and can range up to 1.50% in specialized grades), providing exceptional hardness, fatigue resistance, and edge retention. While less ductile than lower carbon variants, its superior high-tensile strength and resistance to severe wear make it the premier choice for high-strength industrial springs, cutting tools, heavy-duty washers, and specialized wear-resistant fasteners.
