1060 steel, characterized by its high carbon content, offers notable strength and hardness. It’s primarily used to manufacture tools and products like springs and hand tools because it can maintain a sharp edge. The steel’s composition also ensures a good mix of toughness and flexibility, key for items needing impact resistance. However, its carbon level reduces its ductility and welding ease compared to steels with lower carbon content.
