SAE 1045 steel sheet and plate is a medium carbon steel that strikes a great balance between strength and ductility. Its typical chemical makeup includes around 0.43–0.50% carbon, 0.60–0.90% manganese, along with trace amounts of sulfur and phosphorus. This composition allows it to achieve a tensile strength ranging from 570–700 MPa and a yield strength of 300–500 MPa, depending on the heat treatment applied. SAE 1045 also boasts good wear resistance, machinability, and impact toughness, making it a fantastic choice for applications that need more strength than low carbon steels while still being workable and weldable.
