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.
What is the difference between DC01 and DC04 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. DC04 – This grade is suitable for high forming requirements.
What is the difference between DC01 and DC05?
DC01 can be used for simple forming work, for example Bending, embossing, beading and pulling. DC03 is suitable for forming requirements like Deep drawing and difficult profiles suitable. DC04 is suitable for high deformation requirements. DC05 is a thermal forming grade, it is suitable for higher forming requirements.
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.
