carbon content in steel maximum stress

The correct answer is - Increases.
As the carbon content increases in steel, the yield stress and the tensile stress increases.
Steels are classified based on the carbon content as - Low carbon steel, medium carbon steel, and high carbon steel.
When the carbon content is increased, it proportionately increases the hardness of the steel and due to the hardness, the strength of the steel is also increased. However, this makes the steel less available for welding due to the hardness and makes it brittle due to the formation of martensite.
