Advantages and disadvantages of high carbon steel tools

Advantages: high hardness and strong wear resistance. Disadvantages: easy to rust, large deformation during heat treatment.

1, high hardness: because high carbon steel contains a lot of carbon elements, the tool has high hardness and can keep sharp for a long time when used.

2, strong wear resistance: high carbon steel knife has good wear resistance, can keep the blade sharp for a long time, and has long service life.

3, easy to rust: high carbon steel contains more carbon elements, easy to rust due to corrosion, and needs regular maintenance and cleaning.

4. Large deformation during heat treatment: the temperature range of high carbon steel knives during quenching and tempering is narrow, and improper treatment may easily lead to brittleness or deformation of the knives.
