Hot-Rolled & Cold-Finished 1045 Bars

Specify the starting material form that fits your machining, forging or heat-treatment process.

SAE J403 / GRADE REQUIREMENTS

SAE 1045 Chemical Composition

Review the medium-carbon grade composition and define any additional chemical limits in your order.

SAE J403:2024 Heat Analysis

ElementReference Composition
Carbon (C)0.43–0.50%
Manganese (Mn)0.60–0.90%
Phosphorus (P)≤ 0.030%
Sulfur (S)≤ 0.035%
Silicon (Si)Heat analysis confirmed on the MTC

SAE J403:2024 chemistry reference. The purchase specification determines the applicable chemistry limits and material acceptance for your 1045 bars.

Choose the Correct Material Condition

Increased carbon content gives 1045 a different strength and heat-treatment response from lower-carbon grades such as 1018. Your ordered bar condition remains essential to component performance.

  • Hot-rolled bar as a starting stock for machining and further treatment
  • Cold-finished bar when the diameter and finish requirements call for tighter control
  • Heat-treated bar with specified strength or hardness targets when requested
Your actual mill test certificate, selected product standard and bar diameter establish final acceptance criteria.
CONDITION-SPECIFIC REFERENCE

1045 Steel Bar Mechanical Properties

Use supply-condition data to evaluate the starting bar material. Your required performance and diameter should be specified in the purchase order.

Illustrative Mechanical Values

Condition / Ø 19–32 mmTensile*Yield*
Hot rolled≈ 565 MPa≈ 310 MPa
Cold drawn≈ 625 MPa≈ 530 MPa

*Reference examples for selected 19–32 mm round bars at room temperature. Actual strength, elongation and hardness vary by bar diameter, reduction and processing condition. Confirm acceptance values in the MTC.

Heat Treatment & Surface Hardening

1045 is commonly specified for machinery parts that may require normalizing, quenching and tempering, or localized surface hardening. Define the treatment schedule and any target hardness or strength in your inquiry.

  • Round bar diameter and section size
  • Requested supply and heat-treatment condition
  • Test location, hardness range and inspection scope as specified
GRADE SELECTION FOR YOUR COMPONENTS

1045 or 1018 Carbon Steel Bar?

Select the carbon grade and condition that match your machining, strength and heat-treatment requirements.

1045 Carbon Steel Bar

Medium-carbon steel commonly specified for shafts, axles, hubs and other mechanical components requiring a tailored material condition.

  • Carbon: 0.43–0.50%
  • Applications involving mechanical strength and heat treatment
  • Material condition and hardness selected by drawing

SAE 1018 Carbon Steel Bar

Lower-carbon bar commonly used for machined parts, pins and formed components where the purchase specification favors its workability.

Both materials have distinct chemical compositions and delivery requirements. Select the grade specified on your engineering drawings.

BUYER QUESTIONS

1045 Carbon Steel Bar FAQ

Which specifications apply to AISI / SAE 1045 steel bar?

SAE J403 defines grade chemistry. ASTM A576 and A29/A29M cover relevant hot-wrought bar requirements; ASTM A108 covers cold-finished bars. Specify the intended product standard and edition with the RFQ.

How does 1045 differ from 1018 steel bar?

1045 contains approximately 0.43–0.50% carbon, compared with 0.15–0.20% for 1018. Material selection follows your required strength, machinability, heat treatment and engineering specification.

Can I order 1045 bar in a heat-treated condition?

Include the target condition, hardness or strength and diameter in your inquiry. The appropriate heat treatment and test requirements can be confirmed during quotation.

What information helps you quote 1045 round bar?
