Carbon steels is a category of steel, which contains 0.12 to 2% carbon.

This steel category gains hardness and strength


with heat treatment when the percentage of carbon content increases but the ductility is reduced.

AISI 1020 carbon steel is a commonly used plain carbon steel. It has a good combination of strength and ductility and
can be hardened or carburized.
