When strength, machinability, and cost efficiency matter, 1045 carbon steel shafting remains one of the most widely used materials in industrial manufacturing. For equipment builders in Lubbock, Texas, Banner P&M Supply provides 1045 carbon steel produced to Pump Shaft Quality (PSQ) standards, delivering dependable performance for demanding industrial applications.
1045 carbon steel is a medium‑carbon steel known for its balance of tensile strength, impact resistance, and machinability, making it especially popular in the pump industry and other rotating equipment applications.
Industrial Applications of 1045 Carbon Steel
In industrial settings, 1045 carbon steel shafting is commonly used in:
- Centrifugal and vertical turbine pumps
- Hydraulic equipment and power transmission components
- Industrial compressors and mechanical systems
