What is DC01 material grade? DC01 represents the basic grade of the DC steel family and is also known under the former designations St12 or FeP01. This grade can be used for simple forming operations such as bending, coining, beading and drawing.
What is the difference between DC01 and DC03 steel? DC01 – This grade can be used for simple forming work, e.g. bending, embossing, beading and drawing. DC03 – This grade is suitable for forming requirements such as deep drawing and difficult profiling.
Is DC01 the same as CR4? Cold Reduced steel
Here at John Tainton, we stock and process DC01 mild steel (often referred to as CR4), in varying thicknesses from 0.9mm up to 3mm.
What is DC03 steel grade? DC03 is a low-carbon steel characterized by excellent cold formability. The chemical composition of DC03 is precisely defined to ensure that the material has the required mechanical properties. Typically, DC03 contains a maximum of 0.10% carbon, a maximum of 0.45% manganese and traces of phosphorus and sulphur.
