Overview & Features

S45C is a medium carbon steel with a Carbon content of about 0.45% It has a lower Carbon content than carbon tool steel and is less restrictive on impurities, making it suitable for general applications that require a certain degree of strength and toughness.
Although it is possible to increase strength by quenching and tempering after stamping or other processing, because the Carbon content is not high, so the increase in hardness due to quenching is not as high as that of carbon tool steels.

Quenching and Tempering

S45C is a steel grade that can be quenched.
The general quenching condition is ［Water cooling at 800～860℃ ］.
After holding for tens of seconds to several minutes depending on sizes, shapes, required properties, and quenching method, cooling is performed.
Water cooling is harder to quench, but due to the risk of quenching distortion and quench cracking, oil cooling may be used in some cases.
Please select tempering temperature according to required hardness and toughness by referencing quenching and tempering curve.(Quenching and tempering curve of S60C is below for reference purposes. )

Cold Rolled Special Steel Strips

We manufacture carbon steel (SC material) and carbon tool steel (SK material) that conform to "JIS G 3311 Cold Rolled Special Steel Strip" and "JIS G 4802 Cold Rolled Steel Strip for Springs", as well as our own composition-adjusted steel grades for special applications.
