S38C Will Fall Close To 080M30 of BS Standard

S38C steel will meet the specifications of section 080M30 of the BS standard. S45C steel can be found in section 080M40 of the BS standard. S45C steel has a higher yield strength of 435MPa compared to 38C steel at 400MPa for hot rolled bars between 16mm and 40mm in size. S45C also has a higher hardness range of 152-201 HRc versus 142-190 HRc for 38C steel in the normalized condition. Overall, C45 steel has better strength properties than 38C steel according to reference BS970.
