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 a 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.
Why is cold-rolled steel stronger?
In terms of physical characteristics, cold rolled steels are typically harder and stronger than standard hot rolled steels. As the metal is shaped at the lower temperatures, the steel's hardness, resistance against tension breaking, and resistance against deformation are all increased due to work hardening.
What are the properties of DC04 material?
DC04 steel features a yield strength between 140 and 325 MPa, tensile strength from 270 to 690 MPa, and ductility over 24%. These properties make it suitable for shaping operations without damaging the internal structure of the material.
What is DC03 steel?
Deep-drawing quality DC03 according to DIN EN 10130
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.
