Yaoteng Steel are suppliers of  S45C  flame cut steel profiles. A hard edge can occur when flame cutting S45C  plate, therefore this grade is commonly normalised after flame cutting. S45C   flame cut profiles can be supplied Lumsden ground or precision ground. 

Precision ground flat stock / gauge plate can be produced using S45C  steel. Subject to size suitability and availability of raw material pieces can be produced in approximately 2 to 3 weeks. Standard and non-standard sizes are available.

S45C   is widely used for many general engineering applications. Typical applications include shafts, studs, bolts, connecting rods, screws, rollers.

Preheat the steel carefully, then raise temperature to 1050°C for forging. Do not forge below 850°C. After forging cool slowly, preferably in a furnace.

Heat slowly to 680-710°C, soak well. Cool slowly in the furnace.

Heat the component slowly to 820-860°C and allow it to be heated through. Quench in oil or water.

Temper the S45C   component immediately after quenching whilst tools are still hand warm. Re-heat the S45C   component  to the tempering temperature then soak for one hour per 25 millimetre of total thickness (2 hours minimum) Cool in air. For most applications tempering of S45C   will be between 550-660°C.

We recommend you contact your welding consumables supplier who should provide you full assistance and information on welding S45C  steel.

Heat treatment temperatures, including rate of heating, cooling and soaking times will vary due to factors such as the shape and size of each S45C   steel component. Other considerations during the heat treatment process include the type of furnace, quenching medium and work piece transfer facilities. Please consult your heat treatment provider for full guidance on heat treatment of S45C  carbon steel.
