What is S45C material?

Mondo Cars Updated on 2024-02-01

S45C is a high-quality carbon structural steel, specifically, it is a microalloyed non-quenched and tempered steel made by electric furnace, open-hearth furnace or pure oxygen converter steelmaking method. S45C has high strength, high toughness and good plasticity, as well as excellent welding performance and processing performance, and is widely used in automobiles, machinery, construction, bridges and other fields.

First of all, the strength and toughness of S45C are outstanding. Its tensile strength reaches 450-580MPa, the yield strength is 300-420MPa, and it has good ductility and toughness. This material can have high strength and good plasticity at the same time without quenching and tempering, so it can save heat treatment cost and time in the production process.

Secondly, the S45C has excellent processability. Due to its low carbon content, S45C has better cutting performance and is convenient for machining such as turning, milling, and planing. In addition, S45C also has good welding performance, which can meet the requirements of various welding processes and improve production efficiency.

The S45C has a wide range of applications. In the field of automobile manufacturing, S45C is used to manufacture automotive parts, such as engine parts, drivetrain components, etc. In the field of machinery manufacturing, S45C can be used to manufacture various gears, shaft parts, etc. In the construction field, S45C can be used to manufacture building structural parts, steel bars and other materials. In the field of bridge construction, S45C is also widely used in the manufacture of bridge structures.

In short, as a high-quality carbon structural steel, S45C has the characteristics of high strength, high toughness, excellent plasticity and processing properties, and is widely used in various fields. In the future, with the continuous development of science and technology, the application prospect of S45C will be broader.
