S45C Seamless Steel Tubes represent high-quality medium-high carbon steel tubular products with controlled carbon content ranging from 0.43% to 0.50%. These high-strength carbon steel tubes deliver exceptional mechanical properties through optimized chemical composition and heat treatment capabilities, making them ideal for applications requiring superior strength and wear resistance.
Material Specifications & International Standards
As a prominent member of the 10xx series carbon steel family, S45C seamless tubes comply with multiple international standards including:
United States: 1045 (ASTM A519, ASTM A106)
China: 45# steel (GB/T 699)
Germany: C45 (DIN 17200)
Japan: S45C (JIS G4051)
The balanced manganese content of 0.60%-0.90% ensures consistent hardenability and reliable performance across various thermal processing conditions and operational environments.
Mechanical Properties & Performance Characteristics
These heat-treatable steel tubes demonstrate excellent mechanical capabilities in annealed condition with tensile strength of 570-700MPa, yield strength approximately 335MPa, and elongation ranging 15%-18%. Through proper quenching and tempering processes, the mechanical properties can be significantly enhanced to achieve tensile strength ≥800MPa and hardness reaching HRC35-45.
The optimized material composition provides good machinability while requiring careful welding procedures with proper preheating and controlled cooling to prevent cracking. These tubes respond exceptionally well to heat treatment, making them perfect for applications requiring customized strength enhancement and improved wear resistance.
