45# hot rolled steel sheet

The recommended heat treatment system for 45 steel specified in the GB/T699-1999 standard is normalizing at 850°C, quenching at 840°C, and tempering at 600°C. The achieved performance is yield strength ≥355MPa
The GB/T699-1999 standard stipulates that the tensile strength of 45 steel is 600MPa, the yield strength is 355MPa, the elongation rate is 16%, and the reduction of area is 40%.
Application
No. 45 steel is widely used in machinery, when it is not heat treated: HB≤229; heat treatment: normalizing; impact energy: Aku≥39J; high strength, good plasticity and toughness, 45# steel plate after quenching without tempering, the hardness is greater than HRC55 (Up to HRC62) is qualified. After heat treatment and tempering, it can reach HRC42-46, which can not only ensure its good mechanical properties, but also obtain the hardness requirements of the surface. It is used to make small section adjustments that can withstand larger loads. Quality parts and large normalized parts with less stress, as well as surface hardened parts that do not require high core strength, such as tips, guide posts, watch hands and other components.
