Aisi 1045 Carbon Steel (Uns g10450)
Aisi 1045 Carbon Steel (Uns g10450)
Introduction
Carbon steels are a category of steels with 0.12 to 2% carbon content. AISI 1045 is a medium carbon steel designed to be able to
function in areas requiring greater strength and hardness. This steel possesses excellent size accuracy, concentricity, and
straightness which together enable to minimize wear in high speed applications. AISI 1045 can be formed into turned, ground and
polished bars that can be machined unsymmetrically with limited distortion.
The following sections will discuss in detail about AISI 1045 carbon steel.
