Select the properties and typical applications for the high carbon steels.
A. Properties: heat treatable, relatively large combinations of mechanical characteristics. Typical applications: railway wheels and tracks, gears, crankshafts, and machine parts.
B. Properties: hard, strong, and relatively brittle. Typical applications: chisels, hammers, knives, and hacksaw blades.
C. Properties: nonresponsive to heat treatments; relatively soft and weak; machinable and weldable. Typical applications: chisels, hammers, knives, and hacksaw blades.
D. Properties: hard and wear resistant; resistant to corrosion in a large variety of environments. Typical applications: cutting tools, drills, cutlery, food processing, and surgical tools.
E. Properties: nonresponsive to heat treatments; relatively soft and weak; machinable and weldable. Typical applications: automobile bodies, structural shapes, pipelines, buildings, bridges, and tin cans.
