4340 steel vs 1045 steel:For the different material comparisons, which one we should choose to use?

4140 steel China suppliers, wholesale, distributors, and stockholder–Dongguan Otai Special Steel Co Ltd. We Otai is a manufacturer and has a large quantity of stock in our warehouse. We supply in Round bar, gauge plate steel, pipe, tube, rod, square, hexagonal, blanks, plate, sheet, precision ground flat bar. Including precision ground bar stock, hollow bar, we provide black surface and black surface alloy steel material.

4340 alloy structural steel belongs to gear steel.

It is used for important tempering parts that require good toughness, high strength, and large size, such as heavy machinery high-load shaft, turbine shaft with a diameter greater than 250mm, helicopter rotor shaft, turbojet engine turboshaft, blade, high-load transmission parts, crankshaft fasteners. Gear, etc. It can also be used for rotor shaft and blade with an operating temperature of over 400℃. It can also be used to make important parts with special performance requirements after nitriding treatment, which can be used for ultra-high-strength steel after low-temperature tempering or isothermal quenching.

1045 steel is one of the commonly used medium carbon steels with an average carbon content of 0.45%.

It has medium tensile properties, good strength, toughness, and wear resistance. It can be treated by annealing, flame treatment, or induction hardening.C1045 is also known as 1045 cold-rolled steel (cold worked), and 1045 hot rolled steel is known as 1045 HR.

1045 material is widely used in industrial applications where higher wear resistance and strength are required, typical applications including Light gears, shafts, axles, spindles, pins, guide rods, connecting rods, bolts, worms, crankshafts, machine components, etc.
