Route Decision
Choose the CK45 / 1045 route by machining, rod use, and inspection needs
CK45 / C45 / AISI 1045 should be reviewed as a medium-carbon steel route for machinability, rod preparation, straightness, surface condition, delivery condition, and certificate requirements.
- State whether CK45, C45, AISI 1045, or another standard controls the order
- Review hot rolled, normalized, annealed, peeled, turned, or ground routes separately
- Connect hydraulic rods, shafts, gears, and mechanical parts to surface and tolerance needs
- Confirm inspection, MTC, traceability, packing, destination, and drawings during RFQ review
Standards
CK45, C45, AISI 1045, S45C, and 45# cross-reference grades
State the required standard first, then list acceptable equivalents so the medium carbon steel route, machining expectation, and inspection wording are not confused during supplier review.
- EN C45 / 1.1191
- AISI 1045
- JIS S45C
- GB 45#
Delivery Route
CK45 / 1045 delivery condition and machining route
Buyers should clarify whether the order is hot rolled, normalized, annealed, black, peeled, ground, cut to length, or machined, because the route affects downstream turning and finishing.
- Hot rolled / normalized / annealed condition
- Black, peeled, ground, or machined surface route
- Cut-to-length or machining allowance if required
- Hardness or mechanical target if specified
Application Fit
CK45 / 1045 applications for shafts, rods, gears, bolts, and machined parts
CK45 / 1045 is commonly reviewed when buyers need practical machinability, medium carbon steel strength, wear resistance, and processing flexibility for general mechanical components.
- Machine shafts and general shafts
- Cylinder rods and guide rods
- Gears, bolts, and studs
- General machinery and automotive parts
Inspection / RFQ
Inspection and RFQ details for CK45 / 1045 round bar
Before quotation, state standard, size, quantity, delivery condition, surface route, machining needs, application, MTC requirement, dimensional inspection, packing, and destination.
- Chemical composition and mechanical testing if required
- Dimensional and surface condition review
- MTC and traceability requirement
- Packing, destination, and drawings when available
