A108-1045

A108-1045

(OP)
I saw a valve part specification like this.

"Key: Carbon steel, A108-1045"

But you can't find 1045 in ASTM A108.

So I think this is a customry notation, combined with ASTM and AISI. Then, if want to know about this material, what publication do I have to look up?


RE: A108-1045

AISI no longer maintains any standards for steel chemical composition.  ASTM and SAE do.  Section 7 of ASTM A 108 lists the applicable references for chemical compositions.  ASTM A 29 is the probably the most common reference for ASTM A 108, since it defines the requirements for the hot-rolled bars that are turned into cold-finished bars according to ASTM A 108.  Grade 1045 appears in ASTM A 29.

RE: A108-1045

SAE 1045;  "NOTE 3—A more complex ordering description is as follows: Steel Bar; ASTM A 108, dated ____; SAE 1045; Fine Grain; Cold Drawn, Turned, Ground and Polished; chamfer both ends; Mechanical Property Test Results; Hardness test; 2.000-in. (50.80 mm) diameter round; 12 ft
(3657.61 mm) long; Heat Analysis ..."
