Typical Analysis (Ave. values %) NEAREST STANDARD C 0.45 UNS G10430 Si 0.30 Mn 0.70 DIN 1.1191/1.0501 Ck45 Ni Cr JIS S45C Mo S 0.035 AISI 1045 P 0.035

DESCRIPTION

Fully-killed medium carbon steel.

APPLICATIONS

Suitable for medium stressed parts in machinery and industrial tools. Components of small cross section requiring strength and wear properties better than low carbon unalloyed steel. Heavy forgings in the normalised condition for automotive and general engineering, such as axles, clutch members, shafts, piston rods and gear racks. Can also be used as a holder block for press tools and plastic moulds.
