Description
1045 is a medium carbon steel is used when greater strength and hardness is desired than in the "as rolled" condition. Extreme size accuracy, straightness and concentricity combine to minimize wear in high speed applications. Turned, ground and polished.
Applications
Component parts for vechiles, shafts, bushings, crankshafts, connecting rods and parts for the machine building industry and steel for axes, knives, hammers, etc.

Soft Annealing
Heat to 650-700
oC, cool slowly. This will produce a maximum Brinell hardness of 207.
Hardening
Harden from a temperature of 820-850
oC, 830-860
oC followed by water or oil quenching.
Normalizing
Normalizing temperature (
oC): 840-870
oC.
