When a design calls for high strength, predictable performance, and minimal dimensional drift, tight-tolerance 45# steel parts—also known internationally as AISI 1045 or C45 medium-carbon steel—often top the shortlist. At CNC Rapid, we’ve machined thousands of these components for robotics, [...]
When you need the extra punch of medium-carbon steel without jumping to expensive alloys, 45# steel—known internationally as 1045—hits the sweet spot. Its 0.45 % carbon content lets it harden after heat-treatment, yet it still machines cleanly in the annealed [...]
When engineers and designers search for a reliable material for critical mechanical components, 1045 steel often tops the list. Known for its excellent strength, machinability, and affordability, this versatile medium carbon steel is widely used in precision CNC machining applications. [...]
