About 1045 steel

1045 is a medium-carbon steel for parts that take real load or wear. The extra carbon, about 0.45%, buys a stronger, tougher bar you can actually heat treat: shafts, axles, pins, and equipment repair. If a 1018 part keeps bending or wearing out, 1045 is the next stop up. The chrome-plated shafting on our rack is 1045 underneath, plated for rollers, slides, and rod repairs.

Can you weld 1045?
Yes, but with homework: preheat it, use the right filler, and let it cool slowly, or the metal next to the weld turns hard and brittle. When in doubt on 1045, bolt it instead.
Should I buy 1018 or 1045?
1018 for clean machined parts that don't take much load. 1045 when the part carries load or wear, or when you plan to heat treat it. 1045 wins on strength and hardness, 1018 wins on easy machining and welding.
