C45 is an unalloyed medium carbon steel that offers moderate tensile strength. It is known for its excellent machining properties, making it suitable for a wide range of engineering applications. This steel is generally supplied in the untreated or normalized condition but can be hardened and tempered to improve strength and wear resistance.

Key Features

• High Tensile Strength: Provides enhanced durability and load-bearing capacity.
• Good Machinability: Ideal for precision engineering.
• Heat Treatable: Can be hardened and tempered for specific applications.
• Excellent Weldability & Formability: Allows easy shaping and fabrication.
• Superior Stability at High Temperatures: Performs well in extreme conditions.
• Common Uses of C45/EN8 Carbon Steel Plates

This steel is widely used in general engineering applications that require high strength, including:

1. Automotive Components: Shafts, axles, gears, spindles, and connecting rods.
2. Construction & Structural Engineering: Brackets, fasteners, and load-bearing structures.
3. Manufacturing Industry: Machine parts and industrial tools.
4. Power Generation & Oil & Gas Industry: Equipment for drilling, heat exchangers, and gas processing.
5. Tool & Die Making: Molds, dies, and cutting tools.
