What is ST14 material?
ST14 cold-rolled steel sheet is a high-quality, deep-drawing grade cold-rolled carbon steel sheet, engineered to deliver exceptional formability, consistent mechanical properties, and superior surface finish. As a specialized cold-rolled steel product compliant with DIN EN 10130 standards, ST14 is the material of choice for complex deep drawing, stamping, and forming applications across automotive, home appliance, electronics, and precision hardware industries.
At GNEE STEEL, we provide premium ST14 cold-rolled steel sheets with tight dimensional tolerances, reliable performance, and customizable specifications to meet the most demanding manufacturing requirements.

ST14 cold-rolled steel sheet is a low-carbon, high-plasticity cold-rolled steel grade, designed specifically for intricate forming operations where ordinary steel grades would crack or wrinkle. Its balanced chemical composition and advanced cold-rolling process deliver a unique combination of ductility, strength, and surface quality.
Core Advantages
Exceptional Deep Drawability: Ultra-high elongation (≥36%) and optimal r-value (≥1.5) enable flawless deep drawing of complex shapes without defects

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the difference between ST14 and other cold-rolled steel grades (ST12, ST13)?
ST14 is a deep-drawing grade with higher plasticity (elongation ≥36%) compared to ST12 (commercial grade, elongation ≥28%) and ST13 (drawing grade, elongation ≥32%). ST14 offers superior formability for the most complex deep drawing applications.
2. Is ST14 cold-rolled steel sheet equivalent to other international grades?
Yes. ST14 (DIN) is equivalent to DC04 (EN), SPCE (JIS), and 08AL (Chinese GB) grades, sharing similar chemical composition and mechanical properties.
3. What thickness and width ranges are available for ST14 cold-rolled steel sheet?
We supply ST14 cold-rolled steel sheet in thicknesses from 0.3mm to 2.5mm and widths from 800mm to 1830mm. Standard widths are 1000mm, 1250mm, and 1500mm, with custom sizes available.
4. What surface finishes are available for ST14 cold-rolled steel sheet?
We offer two standard surface qualities: FC (high finish) for visible components and coating applications, and FB (general finish) for standard forming operations.
5. Can ST14 cold-rolled steel sheet be welded?
Absolutely. ST14's low carbon content and controlled chemistry provide excellent weldability using all common welding methods, including MIG, TIG, resistance, and spot welding.
6. What is the typical delivery time for ST14 cold-rolled steel sheet orders?
For in-stock items, delivery is 7-15 days worldwide. Custom or large orders typically require 15-30 days depending on specifications and quantity.
7. Does ST14 cold-rolled steel sheet require special storage conditions?
ST14 should be stored in dry, ventilated conditions to prevent moisture-induced oxidation. We recommend indoor storage with proper packaging (anti-rust paper, plastic film) to maintain surface quality.
8. Can you provide samples for testing before placing a bulk order?
Yes. We offer free samples (typically 300mm × 300mm) for material testing and forming trials. Customers only need to cover the shipping cost.
