RE: UK SAE1045 Plate and 4140 Rod equivalents
acc. to EN.
The BS ( British standard ) equivalent is something like 708M40.
1045 is C45 or C45E or C45R according to EN.The BS equivalent of C45E is smth like 080M46 ( this is steel for quenching and tempering ).
I think that those should be the ones you are looking for (both steels for quenching and tempering ).
