Recent studies and work carried out on AISI 1045 medium low carbon steel with various methods such as turning, milling, machining, nitriding, boride layers, drilling, laser process, cold forming, cryogenic thin film deposition, grind hardening, fatigue tests, EDM, Microstructures, ANN, Brazed process, corrosion and Nano indentation related studies are reviewed, which includes Analytical models, Numerical methods, Finite element methods, and Micro structural studies, etc., Keywords: AISI 1045, machining, corrosion, Nitriding 1. INTRODUCTION The material used in this work was AISI 1045 steel with the following chemical compositions (wt. %): C: 0.45, Si: 0.17, Mn: 0.52, S: 0.031, P: 0.032 and Fe balance [23]. Though AISI 1045 steel has been widely used in practical applications due to its excellent combined properties, it is necessary to further improve its wear resistance and corrosion resistance by surface modification in order to extend its service life and enlarge the applications [23]. 2. TURNING: Tool wear characterizations on AISI 1045 steel by using P25 cemented carbide is studied under MQCL conditions and MQCL +EP/AW additive [1].Serrated chip formation during the turning process, the evolution of heat flux during formation of
