Korkeahiilinen
Korkeahiilinen is a term originating from the Finnish language, literally translating to "high-carbon". In practical contexts, it most commonly refers to steel that has a higher percentage of carbon content compared to other types of steel. This increased carbon content significantly affects the steel's properties, making it harder and stronger, but also more brittle. The exact carbon content that defines high-carbon steel can vary, but it is generally considered to be above 0.60% up to about 2.0%.
The properties of high-carbon steel make it suitable for applications where durability, wear resistance, and the
