Product Spotlights
Hemaokang Steel (Shandong) Co., Ltd. proudly presents our ASTM AISI 1045 Carbon Steel Rod Cold Drawn Polished Solid Round Bar in diameters ranging from 20mm to 200mm. As a manufacturer based in Liaocheng, Shandong, China, we combine advanced cold drawing technology with strict quality control to deliver round bars that meet the demands of precision engineering, heavy machinery, and high-strength structural applications. Our 1045 carbon steel round bars offer excellent hardness, wear resistance, and machinability, making them a reliable choice for customers seeking consistent performance and long service life.
Each bar is cold drawn and polished to achieve a smooth, bright surface finish with tight dimensional tolerances. Whether you need raw material for automotive components, shafts, spindles, gears, or general fabrication, our 1045 carbon steel rods are engineered to provide superior strength and uniformity. We understand that every application is unique, so we offer flexible customization in length, packaging, and delivery to match your specific project requirements.
Key Features & Benefits
- High Strength & Hardness: AISI 1045 is a medium carbon steel that provides excellent tensile strength and wear resistance, ideal for parts subjected to heavy loads and friction.
- Superior Machinability: The cold drawn process improves mechanical properties and enables cleaner cutting, drilling, and turning, reducing tool wear and improving production efficiency.
- Smooth Polished Surface: The polished finish reduces friction and improves corrosion resistance in indoor environments, making the bars ready for immediate use or further processing.
- Uniform Dimensions: Cold drawing ensures consistent diameter and straightness across the entire length, minimizing material waste and simplifying fabrication.
- Wide Size Range: Available from 20mm to 200mm in diameter, covering a broad spectrum of engineering requirements.
- Customizable Length: We supply bars in standard lengths or cut-to-size options to reduce scrap and lower your total production cost.
- Factory Direct Supply: As a manufacturer, we offer competitive pricing, stable supply, and responsive technical support.

The combination of carbon and manganese gives AISI 1045 good hardenability and response to heat treatment. It can be normalized, quenched, and tempered to achieve a wide range of mechanical properties, allowing you to tailor the material to your specific application. Our cold drawn round bars are also suitable for induction hardening, making them a versatile choice for surface-hardened components like gears, pinions, and camshafts.
Quality & Consistency
We implement strict incoming raw material inspection and in-process dimensional checks. Each production batch is tested for chemical composition, mechanical properties, and surface quality. Our facility is managed under an ISO9001 quality system, ensuring traceability and repeatability for every order. We also support third-party inspection, and samples can be provided upon request before mass production.
Applications
- Shafts, axles, and spindles
- Gears, pinions, and worm gears
- Bolts, studs, and fasteners
- Die blocks and tool holders
- Machine parts and structural components
- Automotive and agricultural equipment parts
- General engineering and fabrication projects
Packing & Delivery
Bars are bundled and secured with steel straps, wrapped in waterproof paper or plastic film, and loaded into containers. For polished surfaces, we use protective sleeves or oil coating to prevent rust during transit. We export through Qingdao Port, providing efficient logistics to global destinations. Standard sizes are available for quick shipment, while custom sizes are produced within agreed lead times.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between 1045 carbon steel and mild steel like 1020?
1045 has a higher carbon content (0.42-0.50%) compared to mild steel like 1020 (0.18-0.23%). This gives 1045 significantly higher strength, hardness, and wear resistance, but slightly lower ductility. It is better suited for load-bearing and wear-resistant applications such as shafts and gears.
2. Can the rod be heat treated after purchase?
Yes, AISI 1045 is highly responsive to heat treatment. It can be normalized, hardened, quenched, and tempered to achieve the desired hardness and toughness. We can supply bars in the as-cold-drawn condition or perform additional heat treatment upon request.
3. What is the maximum length you can supply?
We typically supply lengths from 3m to 12m. For special orders, we can provide random lengths or cut-to-size pieces to support your manufacturing efficiency. Please let us know your exact requirements.
4. Do you offer cutting services?
Yes, we offer cutting services to divide bars into custom lengths. This helps reduce material waste and transportation costs. Cutting tolerance is usually +/-2mm, and we can deburr the cut ends if needed.
5. How do you prevent rust on the polished surface during shipping?
We apply anti-rust oil, VCI paper, and waterproof wrapping. Bars are packed in bundles with protective sleeves. For long sea voyages, we also use desiccant bags inside the packaging. Optional rust-preventive coating is available for high-humidity destinations.
6. What is your MOQ for 1045 round bars?
Our standard MOQ is 5 tons for common diameters. For trial orders or special sizes, we can accept smaller quantities on a case-by-case basis. Please contact us to discuss your specific needs.
7. Can I get a sample before placing a bulk order?
Yes, we provide free samples for existing stock. For customized samples, a sample fee may apply, which will be deducted from the final order cost. Samples are shipped via express courier for your evaluation.
8. What certificates do you provide?
We provide mill test certificates according to EN 10204 3.1, including chemical composition and mechanical properties. Our company holds ISO9001 certification for quality management. We also support third-party inspection by SGS, BV, or other agencies upon your request.
