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 efficiently flame- 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, quenching medium used etc.
AISI 1045 steel lacks suitable alloying elements and hence does not respond to the nitriding process.
AISI 1045 steel has good machinability in a normalized or hot-rolled condition. Based on the recommendations given by the machine manufacturers, operations like tapping, milling, broaching, drilling, turning and sawing can be carried out on AISI 1045 steel using suitable feeds, tool type, and speeds.
AISI 1045 steel is readily welded when the correct procedure is followed, but welding AISI 1045 steel in through-hardened, tempered and flame- or induction-hardened conditions is not recommended. Low hydrogen electrodes are preferred for welding AISI 1045 steel.
AISI 1045 is subjected to forging, annealing, normalizing, stress-relieving, hardening and tempering processes – each of which is explained in more detail below:
AISI 1045 is widely used for all industrial applications requiring more wear-resistance and strength. Typical applications of AISI 1045 are as follows:

Corrosion is the degradation of an alloy caused by its exposure to the environment. Corrosion deterioration of metallic alloys exposed to the atmosphere or other adverse conditions is prevented using a variety of techniques.
Due to the ever-increasing demand for energy, the demand for nuclear fuel has also increased, which has further created a significant increase in the requirement for post-irradiation examination (PIE) techniques.
