Introduction

Carbon steels are a category of steels with 0.12 to 2% carbon content. 1045 is a medium carbon steel designed to be able to function in areas requiring greater strength and hardness. This steel possesses excellent size accuracy, concentricity, and straightness which together enable to minimize wear in high speed applications. 1045 can be formed into turned, ground and polished bars that can be machined unsymmetrically with limited distortion.

Chemical composition and Physical properties Of 1045 steel

Application

1045 carbon steel forging is widely used for all industrial applications requiring more wear resistance and strength. Typical applications of 1045 carbon steel forgings are as follows: rocker arms, connecting rod, torsion arm, etc.

Other Analysis

Heat Treatment:1045 carbon steel can be heat treated using flame and induction hardening.

Forging:1045 carbon steel can be hammer forged.
