Robust Surface Hardness and Core StrengthThanks to precise induction hardening, CK45 rods achieve a surface hardness of HRC 50-55 while maintaining a tough and machinable core. The hardened layer varies between 0.8 mm to 5 mm, providing optimal wear resistance for demanding industrial applications such as automation and heavy machinery.
Customizable for Versatile ApplicationsCK45 rods come in custom lengths and standard diameters, suiting a broad spectrum of engineering needs. Their good machinability allows for further processing, making them ideal for use as hydraulic piston rods, linear shafts, and automotive parts. Chrome plating is optional, enhancing appearance and corrosion resistance when required.
Superior Finish and PackagingEach rod is polished to a smooth metallic silver surface, ensuring minimal friction and excellent aesthetics. To protect the product during transit, packaging options include plastic wrapping or sturdy wooden boxes, customized as per distributor or customer specification.
FAQs of CK45 Induction Hardened Rod:
Q: How is the induction hardening process performed on CK45 rods?
A: Induction hardening on CK45 rods involves heating the surface rapidly through electromagnetic induction, followed by immediate quenching. This creates a hardened layer (HRC 50-55) while preserving the cores ductility and workability, ensuring durability and longevity for demanding applications.
Q: What are the primary uses and benefits of CK45 induction hardened rods?
A: These rods are widely used in hydraulic piston rods, linear motion shafts, automotive components, automation, and heavy machinery. Induction hardening provides excellent wear resistance, while the polished finish ensures smooth motion and reduces friction in precision applications.
Q: When should I opt for chrome plating on CK45 rods?
A: Chrome plating is recommended when increased corrosion resistance and surface hardness are desired, particularly for environments exposed to moisture or chemicals. It also enhances the appearance, making the rods suitable for visible or high-performance industrial use.
Q: What is the straightness tolerance of CK45 rods, and why is it important?
A: CK45 rods maintain a maximum straightness tolerance of 0.2 mm per meter, which is critical for applications like hydraulic cylinders and linear motion shafts where precise alignment and smooth operation are essential for performance and longevity.
Q: Where are CK45 induction hardened rods typically supplied in India?
A: CK45 rods are distributed, imported, and supplied by manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, and traders across India. Major industrial cities and engineering hubs generally stock these rods through reliable industrial supply networks.
Q: Can CK45 induction hardened rods be machined for further processing?
A: Yes, CK45 rods are engineered for good machinability, allowing further custom processing such as cutting, drilling, and threading as required by the specific engineering or industrial application.
