    AISI 1045 is a medium carbon steel with good weldability, machinability, and strength properties. It has a carbon content between 0.42-0.50% and tensile strength ranging from 570-700 MPa. AISI 1045 can be heat treated through processes like normalizing, hardening, and tempering but has limited through-hardening capabilities. Common applications include gears, shafts, axles, bolts, and other mechanical parts requiring wear resistance and strength.

    AISI 1045 Medium Carbon Steel

    AISI 1045 Medium Carbon Steel

    AISI 1045 steel is a medium tensile steel supplied in a black hot­rolled or
    normalized condition. It has a tensile strength of 570 ­ 700 MPa and Brinell
    hardness ranging between 170 and 210.

    AISI 1045 steel is characterized by good weldability, good machinability, and high
    strength and impact properties in either the normalized or hot­rolled condition.

    AISI 1045 steel has a low through­hardening capability with only sections of around 60
    mm in size being recommended as suitable for tempering and through­hardening.
    However, it can be efficiently flame­ or induction­hardened in the normalized or hot rolled
    condition to obtain surface hardnesses in the range of Rc 54 ­ Rc 60 based on factors
    such as section size, type of set up, quenching medium used etc.

    AISI 1045 steel lacks suitable alloying elements and hence does not respond to the

    Machining
    AISI 1045 steel has good machinability in a normalized or hot­rolled condition. Based on
    the recommendations given by the machine manufacturers, operations like tapping,
    milling, broaching, drilling, turning and sawing can be carried out on AISI 1045 steel
    using suitable feeds, tool type, and speeds.

    AISI 1045 Medium Carbon Steel

    AISI 1045 steel in through­hardened, tempered and flame­ or induction­hardened
    conditions is not recommended. Low hydrogen electrodes are preferred for welding AISI
    1045 steel.

    The workpiece is:

    Pre­heated at 200°C–300°C (392°F ­ 572°F);
    maintained at the same temperature during welding;
    cooled slowly using sand or ashes; and
    stress relieved at 550°C ­ 660°C (1022°F ­ 1220°F).

    Heat Treatment
    AISI 1045 is subjected to forging, annealing, normalizing, stress­relieving, hardening and
    tempering processes – each of which is explained in more detail below:

    Forging ­ Heat to 850°C ­ 1250°C (1562°F ­ 2282°F). Hold until the temperature is
    uniform. Cool in a furnace.
    Annealing ­ Heat to 800°C ­ 850°C (1472°F ­ 1562°F). Hold until the temperature is
    uniform. Cool in a furnace.
    Normalizing ­ Heat to 870°C ­ 920°C (1598°F­1688°F). Hold until the temperature
    is uniform. Soak for 10 ­ 15 minutes. Cool in still air.
    Stress­Relieving ­ Heat to 550°C ­ 660°C (1022°F ­ 1220°F). Hold until the
    temperature is uniform. Soak for 1 hour per 25mm of section. Cool in still air.
    Hardening ­ Heat to 820°C ­ 850°C (1508°F ­ 1562°F). Hold until the temperature
    is uniform. Soak for 10 ­ 15 minutes per 25mm of section. Quench in water or brine.
    Tempering ­ Re­heat to 400°C ­ 650°C (752°F ­ 1202°F) as required. Hold until the
    temperature is uniform. Soak for 1 hour per 25mm of section. Cool in still air.

    Applications
    AISI 1045 is widely used for all industrial applications requiring more wear­resistance and
    strength. Typical applications of AISI 1045 are as follows:

    Gears Pins Rams


    Shafts Rolls Sockets
    Axles Spindles Worms
    Bolts Ratchets Light gears
    Studs Crankshafts Guide rods
    Connecting rods Torsion bars Hydraulic clamps
