Details for AISI 1046 Steel / SWRCH45K Steel:

AISI 1046 Steel / SWRCH45K Steel is a new kind of steel. It has high strength, hardness, wear resistance, and good toughness. 

Its hardenability is high. The critical quenching diameter in oil is 18~33mm; After normalizing, the machinability is good, and the technological properties of cold drawing, rolling, tapping, forging and heat treatment are also good. 

At high temperatures, the tendency of grain growth, oxidation, decarburization, and quenching deformation is small; But there is temper brittleness.

After quenching and tempering, AISI 1046 Steel / SWRCH45K Steel Steel can obtain good comprehensive mechanical properties and good machinability, but poor welding performance and low cold deformation plasticity.

AISI 1046 Steel / SWRCH45K Steel is generally used in the quenching and tempering state, and can also be used in the quenching and tempering or normalizing state. 

AISI 1046 Steel / SWRCH45K Steel can be used to manufacture worn parts, such as rotating shaft, spindle, crankshaft, spline shaft, connecting rod, universal joint shaft, engaging rod, gear, clutch plate, bolt, nut, etc.

AISI 1046 Steel /SWRCH45K​

Applications:

After quenching and tempering, 1046 carbon structural steel can obtain good comprehensive mechanical properties, good machinability, but poor welding performance, low cold deformation plasticity, and temper brittleness tendency.

It is generally used in the quenching and tempering state, and can also be used in the quenching and tempering or normalizing state. The hardness of 1046 steel after common quenching and tempering is hrc36~hrc45 degrees, with a wide range of applications and good toughness.

1046 steel is used to manufacture worn parts, such as rotating shaft, spindle, crankshaft, spline shaft, connecting rod, universal joint shaft, engaging rod, gear, clutch plate, bolt, nut, etc.

What are the differences in properties between AISI 1046 Steel / SWRCH45K Steel and 1045/S45C steel?

1035 and 1045 are different.

Although their Japanese standard are the same one (S45C), 1046 is a kind of new steel and high-quality structural steel with high manganese content 1046 has high strength, hardness, durability, good toughness, high hardenability, and good heat treatment process performance.

1045/C45 is a high-quality carbon steel, which is often used for manufacturing various machine parts and accessories, such as bolts, gears, shafts, etc. It is characterized by high strength and hardness.

The 1046 carbon steel delivered after heat treatment can be welded. 

1046 carbon steel is a kind of medium carbon steel, which is commonly used to manufacture mechanical parts. 

Most of it is repair welding, and its weldability is poor. If it is still welded randomly according to the process commonly used for welding low carbon steel, the weldment will often have cracks and lead to product scrapping. 

For the welding of 1046 quenched and tempered steel, attention must be paid to preheating. 

The workpiece shall be preheated to about 250-350 degrees for welding, and then the workpiece shall be buried in the insulation medium such as chicken hair ash, vermiculite powder, perlite powder or lime powder to cool slowly for 2 hours to prevent cold cracks.
