1045 Steel Investment Castings
1045 is a type of medium carbon steel. It has a carbon content of approximately 0.45%. Cast parts made from 1045 carbon steel have excellent strength and mechanical properties. It is used in a wide variety of equipment and machinery: agricultural machinery,cars, trucks, trains, tools, wind turbines, weapons, medical products, oil wells.JC Casting is a 1045 steel casting foundry. Because castings are different for different customers, they are unique. JC Casting uses investment casting, sand casting and other processes. The 1045 steel investment castings are produced in a variety of designs and sizes. We can provide the best choice for each cusotomer.

1045 Steel Investment Castings
1045 Lost wax casting is widely used in various important structural parts. such as
1. Machinery manufacturing industry: gears, shaft parts, couplings, valve parts, etc. such as reducer shells, transmission parts. such as speed reducer shells, transmission mechanism parts.
2. Automobile and motorcycle industry: engine parts: such as turbocharger shells, pump bodies, bearing housings. Chassis parts: suspension system parts, steering knuckle, brake caliper body.
3. Petroleum, chemical and valve industries: valve body, valve cover, valve flap type valves (ball valves, gate valves, globe valves). Chemical piping connectors, pump parts (such as impellers, pump casing).
4. Hardware tools and consumer goods industry: such as wrenches, pliers head parts. Agricultural machinery parts (e.g. gear box parts).
Advantages of 1045 Carbon Steel Casting
1. Excellent tensile strength and hardness. Suitable for demanding applications.
2. It can be easily machined into a variety of shapes and forms, allowing for efficient manufacturing processes.
3. AISI 1045 is suitable for welding when using medium carbon steel joining techniques.
4. 1045 carbon steel is well known for its ferrite and pearlite microstructure. The carbides in the pearlite structure provide enhanced wear resistance. This makes 1045 carbon steel suitable for parts subjected to wear and friction.
