What is ck45 round bar hardness hrc
CK45 round steel bar general purpose medium carbon steel delivered in as hot rolled condition. It can be further heat treated to achieve specific mechanical properties. The 0.45% carbon content is not favorable for welding. However, it can be weld with appropriate pre and post weld heat treatment. Surface hardness of 57~62 HRC can be achieved with cast hardening to a depth of approximately 1mm. Used for most transmission and motor parts of medium strength. Case hardened parts such as camshafts, gears, rocking levers etc. Simple hand tools and various types of fasteners and fixtures, machinery parts and components with medium stress.
