Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is S45C steel and what are its advantages?
S45C is a JIS-standard medium carbon steel with a nominal carbon content around 0.45%. It offers good strength, toughness, and wear resistance while remaining machinable. It is often compared to AISI 1045. The material is suitable for automatic lathe parts that require both strength and machinability.
2. Can you supply precision ground bars with custom diameters and lengths?
Yes. We offer custom diameters, lengths, and cut-to-size options based on your drawings or specific requirements. Please provide your required tolerance and surface finish so we can tailor the product.
3. What tolerances and surface finishes are typical for these rods?
The tolerance and surface finish can be customized to meet your machining process. Common precision ground bars are supplied with tight diameter tolerances and low surface roughness. Our team can recommend suitable values based on your application and confirm them in the quotation.
4. How do precision ground bars benefit automatic lathe machining?
Precision ground bars provide consistent diameter, straightness, and surface finish. This helps automatic lathe machines feed and clamp the material reliably, reduces tool vibration and wear, and results in fewer rejected parts.
5. Can you process the rod ends or add chamfering?
Yes, optional end processing such as deburring, chamfering, and cut-to-length is available upon request. Please mention any specific end finish requirements in your inquiry.
6. What quality certifications does Hemaokang Steel hold?
Our company operates in accordance with an ISO9001 quality management system. We follow controlled procedures from raw material selection to final inspection and shipping. Specific product certifications, if required, can be discussed based on your destination market.
7. What is the minimum order quantity?
We are flexible. MOQ depends on the diameter, specification, and surface finish. For standard sizes, low minimum quantities may be possible. For custom dimensions, minimums may be higher. Please contact us with your requirements.
8. How long does delivery take?
Delivery time is based on order quantity, specification, and production schedule. We will provide the exact lead time when you send us your inquiry. For regular sizes, we can often schedule production quickly. Shipment is typically from Qingdao Port.
