1045 would not have that much of edge holding ability compared to other steels as it only contains .45% carbon meaning that its max hardness is much softer compared to steels such as 1080,1094,etc. It would be sufficient for disposable blades, but I wouldn't recommend depending on any other blade with that type of steel.

Why carbon is better then any other for steel?
It is required to make steel the more carbon the steel contains the harder and stronger it will get, if you have to much carbon the steel will be brittle and crack easy. carbon is a good element to bond with becuase it has four bonds
How you connect carbon steel with ductile iron?
Carbon Steel refers to various varieties of steel, hence carbon content is limited to max. 2.1%Low carbon steel: Carbon content less than 0.3%, also known as mild steel, very soft and ductile, easily machinable.Medium Carbon Steel: Carbon content varies from 0.3 to 0.5%, responsive to heat treatment, Good machinibility, good tougness and ductility properties and weldability.High Carbon Steel: Greater than 0.5%C. Greater strength as compared to LC and MC steel, accompanied with hardness, Toughness is imparted through heat treatment.Ductile Iron is essentially a Cast iron, with max. caron content upto 4-4.5%. Cast irons are generally hard and brittle in nature dur to such high carbon content. But depending upon the cooling rate the ductile iron contains carbon in spheroidal graphite form instead of flake form. This results in the formation of a ductile matrix, hence Ductile Cast Iron is relatively ductile with respect to other cast iron varieties and also it has good corrosion resistant prpoerties.
Percentage of carbon in stainless steel?
This depends on the type of stainless steel. I've seen stainless steel 303 with <=0.15% carbon, which I think is typical. If you have a specific type of stainless steel that you want to know the carbon content for you can get a pretty good idea by using matweb.com
How much percentage of carbon makes it high carbon or medium carbon or low carbon HC MC LC in a ferro-alloy?
* Mild (low carbon) steel: approximately 0.05-0.15% carbon content for low carbon steel and 0.16-0.29% carbon content for mild steel (e.g. AISI 1018 steel). Mild steel has a relatively low tensile strength, but it is cheap and malleable; surface hardness can be increased through carburizing. * Medium carbon steel: approximately 0.30-0.59% carbon content(e.g. AISI 1040 steel). Balances ductility and strength and has good wear resistance; used for large parts, forging and automotive components. * High carbon steel: approximately 0.6-0.99% carbon content. Very strong, used for springs and high-strength wires. * Ultra-high carbon steel: approximately 1.0-2.0% carbon content. Steels that can be tempered to great hardness. Used for special purposes like (non-industrial-purpose) knives, axles or punches. Most steels with more than 1.2% carbon content are made using powder metallurgy and usually fall in the category of high alloy carbon steels.
What is the difference between carbon steel fittings and malleable iron fittings?
Malleable iron has been in use for hundreds of years and is a good choice for small castings or castings with thin cross sections. Malleable iron can be bent easily and has very good fracture toughness in colder temperatures. Fittings made from carbon steel are made in a wide variety of sizes with lower carbon steel being easier to bend but having less strength than higher carbon steels.
Is a 1045 carbon steel katana ok for cutting fruit and if so what type of fruit would you be able to cut?
well i have seen people cut up pumpkins and melons with one, so it should be good for anything It doesnt really matter if it is 1045. The carbon composition of a sword only changes the hardness, and that also really only makes a difference if it is properly tempered (heat treated). works fine.

What is the meaning of A30 Carbon?
A30 carbon steel is steel that contains 0.30% carbon. The 30 stands for 30/100 of 1 percent carbon. Such steel has a good trade off between being easy to work and still not too soft.
What kind of steel makes a good knife blade 1095?
Many different types of steel makes good knife blades-I believe that stainless steels are most suitable for the majority of knife types though. Good edge retention (Tests indicates that stainless steels; if properly heat treated, has better edge retention then most high carbon steels), very high corrosion resistance, and sufficient toughness.
Do iron and coal make steel?
good question actually carbon and iron react together to make steel but coal although it does contain carbon it also contains nitrogen and oxygen and is already reacted to form steel carbon needs to react with iron so if the carbon could be extracted from coal and then heated up with iron it would indeed form steel but it is a lot of hassle and would be rather expensive.

What is the best steel for a sword?
Sword made of 1060 high carbon steel could be a good option. 1060 steel is quality but yet affordable steel. If you have a better budget you can pick spring steel or a tool steel like T10 or L6 bainite.

What apparatus would you use to show that a metal was a good conductor of electricity?
plastic, steel, zinc, and carbon

What is the type of steel in a steel blade of a steel handsaw and what is young modulus for this type of steel?
Steel handsaw, steel hacksaw and steel bandsaw blades are made from high speed steel. The most popular specification of steel used to produce these products is BS4659 BM2 commonly known as M2 high speed steel. M2 offers good wear resistance with excellent toughness after heat treatment.
