AISI C1045

AISI C1045 steel is a medium-carbon steel known for its higher strength and hardness compared to lower carbon grades. With a carbon content of approximately 0.45%, it exhibits good machinability and can be heat-treated to enhance its mechanical properties, making it suitable for applications that require improved wear resistance and toughness. C1045 is commonly used in the manufacturing of high-stress components such as gears, axles, and shafts. Its ability to be hardened through processes like quenching and tempering makes it a favored choice in industries where durability and performance are critical. Additionally, C1045's weldability allows for versatility in fabrication. At Industrial Metal Fab, we specialize in fabricating C1045 steel to meet your exact specifications. Whether your industry is mining, forestry, or construction, trust us to deliver high-quality, durable solutions that stand the test of time.
