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
How to identify cold-rolled steel?
By comparison, cold roll steel has a smoother surface finish, higher strength, and tighter tolerances. Cold rolled steel is superior if tight tolerances, smooth surface finishes, or consistency are crucial.
What is dc01 steel?
It is a non-alloy cold-rolled steel with very low carbon content. It is often used in the automotive industry and for making electronic components. The low carbon content of this steel makes it very easy to work with. It can be welded, brazed and soldered without any issues.
What is the difference between DC01 and DC03?
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?
Our range of Cold rolled
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.
