What is DC03 steel grade?
Mild low-carbon steel for cold forming
Grade DC03 exhibits excellent deep-drawing capability under all types of deformation. This grade is suitable for forming requirements such as deep drawing and difficult profiling.
What is the difference between dc01am and S235?
S235 has higher strength than DC01. Designed for structural applications, S235 offers the durability and load-bearing capacity needed for construction and engineering projects. DC01 has lower strength and is intended for applications where detailed shaping is key rather than load-bearing performance.
What is DC04 material grade?
Grade DC04 is a deep-drawing steel of the DC grade family. The grade has excellent deep-drawing properties under all types of deformation. DC04 is suitable for high forming requirements. DC04 – send request!
What is the difference between DC01 and DC03?
DC: Cold-rolled flat products for cold forming, where "D" stands for drawing quality. DC01: Standard drawing quality, ideal for general cold-forming applications. DC03: Deep drawing quality, allowing greater formability. DC04, DC05: Special deep drawing quality for complex shapes.
Is CR4 the same as DC01?
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. Each sheet is de-coiled and flattened to strict tolerances in our Kidderminster works, ensuring consistent quality and flatness, every time.
