1045 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 1045 component immediately after quenching whilst tools are still hand warm. Re-heat the EN8 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 EN8 will be between 550-660°C.
