An essential alloying addition in steel. As the carbon content of steel increases, so does the strength and hardness. To optimize the ductility and toughness for a given strength level the steel would be quenched and tempered. The majority of carbon would then be in the form of fine carbides. Carbon besides increasing the strength and hardness also increases hardenability.
