About
C45E (1.1191) is a medium-carbon, non-alloy steel with about 0.42-0.50% carbon, which gives it higher strength and hardness than low-carbon grades like 1018 or S235JR. The "E" denotes a specified maximum sulfur content, making it a slightly cleaner version of plain C45 (1.0503).
Carbon steel C45E is well suited to shafts, pins, and machine components needing moderate wear resistance.
