The American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI): Steel is considered to be carbon steel when no minimum content is specified or required for chromium, cobalt, molybdenum, nickel, niobium, titanium, tungsten, vanadium or zirconium, or any other element to be added to obtain a desired alloying effect; when the specified minimum for copper does not exceed 0.40 percent; or when the maximum content specified for any of the following elements does not exceed the percentages noted: manganese 1.65, silicon 0.60, copper 0.60. After doing some research, carbon steel is effectively a heavier and stronger steel. Diamonds would be a terrible method for obtaining it, things like charcoal or carbon based dusts would be the only way of doing it. It would also require an immense heat source. Creation also involves chromium, as well as the usual materials for steel.

Ring any bells?
