AISI 1045 steel is a medium tensile steel supplied in a black hot-rolled or normalized condition. It has a tensile strength of 570 - 700 MPa and
Brinell hardness ranging between 170 and 210.
AISI 1045 steel is characterized by good weldability, good machinability, and high strength and impact properties in either the normalized or hot-rolled
condition.
AISI 1045 steel has a low through-hardening capability with only sections of around 60 mm in size being recommended as suitable for tempering and
through-hardening. However, it can be e ciently ame- or induction-hardened in the normalized or hot rolled condition to obtain surface hardnesses in the
range of Rc 54 - Rc 60 based on factors such as section size, type of set up, News
quenching medium used etc.
(/materials-news-index.aspx)
AISI 1045 steel lacks suitable alloying elements and hence does not respond to the nitriding
Articles process.

Welding (https://www.azonetwork.com/ne
More... ppnid=75))
AISI 1045 steel is readily welded when the correct procedure is followed, but welding AISI 1045 steel in through-hardened, tempered and ame- or
induction-hardened conditions is not recommended. Low hydrogen electrodes are preferred for welding AISI 1045 steel.

The workpiece is: (/newsletters)
Pre-heated at 200°C–300°C (392°F - 572°F);

maintained at the same temperature during welding;
cooled slowly using sand or ashes; and
stress relieved at 550°C - 660°C (1022°F - 1220°F).
Heat Treatment
AISI 1045 is subjected to forging, annealing, normalizing, stress-relieving, hardening and tempering processes – each of which is explained in more detail
below:
Forging - Heat to 850°C - 1250°C (1562°F - 2282°F). Hold until the temperature is uniform. Cool in a furnace.
Annealing - Heat to 800°C - 850°C (1472°F - 1562°F). Hold until the temperature is uniform. Cool in a furnace.
Normalizing - Heat to 870°C - 920°C (1598°F-1688°F). Hold until the temperature is uniform. Soak for 10 - 15 minutes. Cool in still air.
Stress-Relieving - Heat to 550°C - 660°C (1022°F - 1220°F). Hold until the temperature is uniform. Soak for 1 hour per 25mm of section. Cool in still air.
Hardening - Heat to 820°C - 850°C (1508°F - 1562°F). Hold until the temperature is uniform. Soak for 10 - 15 minutes per 25mm of section. Quench in
water or brine. News (/materials-news-index.aspx)
Tempering - Re-heat to 400°C - 650°C (752°F - 1202°F) as required. Hold until the temperature is uniform. Soak for 1 hour per 25mm of section. Cool in
still air. Articles (/articles.aspx)

Can this steel be hot-dip galvanized? I will be using it as a structural pin in an outdoor industrial environment.
