Carbon Steel EN 10083-2 Grade C45 pipes are medium carbon, non-alloy structural steel pipes featuring a carbon content of around 0.45%, with manganese levels between 0.50% and 0.80%, along with trace amounts of silicon, phosphorus, and sulfur. These pipes are usually normalized or quenched and tempered to boost their mechanical strength and wear resistance. They boast a tensile strength ranging from 570 to 700 MPa, a yield strength exceeding 330 MPa, and an elongation of about 14%. The hardness typically falls between 170 and 210 HB. C45 is known for its excellent machinability, moderate weldability, and dependable performance under dynamic and mechanical loads.
