1040 Round Bar: Material Profile
1040 is often evaluated between lower-carbon general-purpose grades and 1045 when moderate hardness and strength are needed.
Specify whether the material will be forged, machined, normalized, induction hardened, or otherwise heat treated.
Purchase to the controlling ASTM, SAE, AMS, or customer specification. Section size, supply condition, mechanical properties, surface limits, testing, and heat/lot traceability can change the acceptable material and processing route.
Key Characteristics
- Good strength
- Good wear resistance
- Responsive to heat treatment
- Suitable for forging
Common Applications
- Shafts and axles
- Gears and couplings
- Crank components
- Forged machinery parts
Specification Requirements
Identify the governing specification and revision, product form, section size, condition, mechanical properties, testing, and certification requirements. The purchase specification and material certification govern the order.
