Grade route 03
CK45, C45E, C45, and SAE/AISI 1045 are medium-carbon steel designation routes often compared for mechanical parts; the controlling standard still governs the order.

Grade specifications
Cross-references are a starting point. The drawing standard, condition, size and inspection scope define the order.

No. They are related medium-carbon steel designations, but they are not automatically interchangeable. State the controlling standard and edition, then review chemistry, product form, condition, dimensions, testing, and any alternative through written purchaser approval.
CK45 / 1045 can be reviewed for some cylinder rod routes when strength, straightness, surface condition, machining, and inspection requirements are suitable. Higher-load or fatigue-sensitive routes may require comparison with alloy grades.
Buyers should specify hot rolled, normalized, annealed, black, peeled, ground, machined, or cut-to-length route where relevant. Add hardness, mechanical-property, tolerance, and surface-condition requirements if they affect the final part.
