What is DC01 material standard?
According to DIN EN 10130, the carbon content for quality steels such as DC01 must not exceed 0.12%. In addition, the manganese and phosphorus contents are strictly regulated. This precise composition ensures high cold formability and optimum surface quality.
What is the quality of DC01?
This composition ensures good cold formability and a high surface quality. DC01 in accordance with DIN EN 10130 has specific mechanical properties that make it ideal for cold forming. These include a minimum tensile strength of 270-410 MPa and a minimum elongation of 28%.
What is the meaning of DC01?
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.
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.
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.
