Description
1045 bars are medium carbon steel known for their strength and mechanical properties. They are commonly used in applications requiring high strength, such as gears, shafts, and axles. 1045 TG&P (Turned, Ground, and Polished) bars are precision-ground and polished versions of 1045 steel. This process enhances their dimensional accuracy and surface smoothness, making them ideal for applications where precise measurements and a polished appearance are required. They offer improved strength and mechanical properties over other carbon steels like 1018.
