Q: What material is DC01?
A: DC01 is a low-carbon cold-rolled steel sheet for cold forming according to the European standard (EN 10130). It belongs to non-alloy low-carbon steel and is characterized by good cold formability and weldability.
Q: What are the corresponding Chinese, Japanese, and German standard grades for DC01?
A: It corresponds to Chinese standard Q195/Q215, Japanese standard SPCC, and the old German standard ST12 (which has been superseded by the EN standard but is still generally accepted).
Q: What is the standard that DC01 complies with?
A: It mainly complies with the EN 10130 standard, which specifies the technical requirements for cold-rolled steel sheets for cold forming.
Q: What is the core difference between DC01 and DC03/DC04?
A: The main difference lies in formability and surface quality. DC01 is the basic grade with an elongation ≥28%; DC03/DC04 have higher elongation and better deep-drawing performance, suitable for complex stamping parts.
Q: Does DC01 have hot-rolled plates?
A: No, DC01 is only delivered in cold-rolled condition. If you require hot-rolled base materials, please refer to the corresponding hot-rolled low-carbon steel grade.
