C45 – Medium Carbon Steel


Overview

C45 is a medium carbon steel grade with excellent strength and hardness properties. It is commonly used for components requiring high wear resistance and moderate toughness. With good machinability and uniform hardness, C45 is ideal for demanding engineering applications.

Key Features

  • High tensile strength and surface hardness
  • Good machinability and dimensional stability
  • Suitable for heat treatment processes like hardening and tempering
  • Excellent wear resistance under load
  • Balanced mechanical and structural properties

Applications

  • Shafts and axles
  • Gears and sprockets
  • Bolts, studs, and fasteners
  • Machine components and automotive parts
  • Industrial tools and dies
