Luke Steel is dedicated to maintaining industry standards by providing exceptional customer service, technical know-how, and consistent quality. We provide steel solutions that guarantee performance and dependability in a variety of industries, whether they are for high-wear industrial components or structural parts.
SAE 1045 steel is a medium-carbon steel that normally contains trace amounts of phosphorus and sulfur in addition to 0.43–0.50% carbon and 0.60–0.90% manganese. With a Brinell hardness of 170–210 HB, a tensile strength of 570–700 MPa, and a yield strength of about 300 MPa, it provides exceptional mechanical qualities. The material is valued for its high surface hardness following heat treatment, good machinability, and respectable weldability. Due to these qualities, SAE 1045 is perfect for manufacturing parts that need to be strong, durable, and resistant to wear, particularly in mechanical settings that are subjected to high stress.

Industries that require strength, impact resistance, and wear durability frequently use SAE 1045 steel plates and sheets. Gears, axles, crankshafts, bolts, shafts, and forged parts are among the common uses. Because of its machinability and capacity to support dynamic loads, it is also widely used in hydraulic clamps, farm equipment, construction machinery, and industrial equipment. Its ability to produce mechanical parts and structural supports is valued by the engineering and automotive industries. SAE 1045 provides a flexible solution for heavy-duty applications needing toughness and dimensional stability because it can be heat-treated for additional hardness and strength.
