Abstract. Steel material has been used mainly for making tooling, automotive components,

other household needs, power generators to frame buildings and bridges. This study aimed (1)

to analyze the mechanical Characteristics of S45C steel with and without heating treatments,

and (2) to analyze the temperature of heating treatment which could result in the maximal

strength of S45C steel after the welding process. The research was conducted in the laboratory

of mechanical engineering study program, Departement of mechanical Engineering, Christian

university of indonesia paulus, makassar. The method used materials, instruments, and the

dimensions determination of specimen based on the proposed testing standard, Next,

was to

determine the mechanical caracteristics of the S45C steel wich had been welded and

heated.The tensile specimens, the hardness specimen, the impact specimen, and

microstructures of which,each of the 3 specimens was the specimens was the specimen without

treatment, the spesimen with the welding wthout heating and the specimen of 150oC, 250o C,

300o C. The research results indicated that the treatment process of 1500C, 250oC and 300oC

produced the changes of mechanic charateristics with the tensile strength of 42 kgf/mm2 when

the temperature had reached 300oC, but at the temperature 300oC, the its toughness would

decrease to Hi = 0.836 j/m2 and its hardness would increase to 40.83 at the temperature of

300oC. The value of the maximum strengs was reached at the heating temperature of 300oC for

the tensile strength and the hardness, while at the temperature of 300oC its impact value would
decrease.
