You rang Sir ??? There is a standard system to designate alloy and carbon steels .In that case the 10xx means plain carbon , and the 95 means .95 % carbon .In almost any field .95 C is considered "high carbon" BTW high carbon designation can mean different things in different industries.
Things like 1095 CroVan would be a non standard variation of 1095 containing small amounts of Chromium [note the "H" ] and Vanadium .
The standards are American Iron and Steel Institute [ AISI] or a similar SAE [Society of Automotive Engineers].
BTW there are many standard systems in the world Be careful when you see the term "equivalent steels" .That may mean 'closest to' and that may be far from equivalent ! A recent one I came across 416 stainless [.15 C] was listed as equivalent to a .55 C !!
Spell it METALLURGIST ,sometimes my phone doesn't ring when mis-spelled .
