carbon steel can be made extremely hard. I have a hard time believing this stuff is harder than that.

Believe it:

This stuff is TOUGH

You aren’t showing me anything. iron based alloys have a HUGE range of hardness, tensile strength, and toughness. The fact that your chart shows TITANIUM as same yield strength as steel tells me your chart is no good.

There are steels out there approaching 300 ksi yield THAT I KNOW OF. And I’m no metalurgist.

*CAST* STAINLESS FOR ELASTIC LIMIT COMPARISSON? LOL, gimme a break! bogus chart there.

None of the materials on those charts are “carbon steel.”

When I hear “carbon steel,” I hear 1070 to 1095 steels, which I can harden to over Rc 54 with an oil quench.

You can find examples of carbon steel in springs, older screwdrivers, chisels and other hardened tools.
