It depends on different things. How much Carbon is in it and high-alloy steels have metals like cobalt, crome, nickel, molybdenum or vanadium in it. So it depends on the aggregate which charactreristics the steels have. Some of them are non-magnetic, resistant against rust or frequent bending, very hard a.s.o.
