Introduction

Carbon steels are a category of steels with 0.12 to 2% carbon content. AISI 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. AISI 1045 can be formed into turned, ground and polished bars that can be machined unsymmetrically with limited distortion.

The following sections will discuss in detail about AISI 1045 carbon steel.

1045 HOT ROLLED SBQ BAR

Hot rolled 1045 steel bar is a medium carbon common steel grade with moderate weldability, higher strength, and impact properties for a variety of applications. 1045 steel is a common grade because of its cost and excellent properties. However, due to its lack of alloying content, this grade has limits on mechanical properties and options for heat treatments. Eaton Steel Bar Company stocks many diameters of this grade to meet the market demands. We also supply 1045 steel bar to various industries like automotive, agriculture, ATV, construction, and motorcycle.
