Description |
|
European EN |
DC01 (EN 10130) |
Direct replacement of ST12 in EN standard, composition and performance are almost the same. |
|
Chinese GB |
SPCC (GB/T 5213) |
Ordinary cold-rolled low-carbon steel, composition and use are similar. |
|
Japanese JIS |
SPCC (JIS G 3141) |
Similar to GB SPCC, suitable for general stamping. |
|
American ASTM |
A1008 CS Type B |
Low-carbon cold-rolled steel, formability is similar, but specific comparison of composition and mechanical properties is required. |
|
International ISO |
CR1 (ISO 3574) |
General cold-rolled steel, but the standard is older, it is recommended to refer to EN or JIS standards first. |
What is ST12 steel used for?
ST12 steel is a common cold-rolled low-carbon steel with good stamping formability and welding properties. It can be used in the home appliance industry, office equipment, hardware products, construction and decoration, automotive parts and other industrial fields.
Is ST12 mild steel?
ST12 is a low-carbon steel with low strength and high ductility. It conforms to the mechanical behavior of low-carbon steel and is widely used in fields that do not require high strength but require formability.
What is the difference between ST12 and DC01?
DC01 is a modern replacement for ST12. After EN 10130 replaced DIN 1623, ST12 gradually transitioned to DC01. The composition and performance of the two are basically the same, but the standard of DC01 is newer and may have stricter control over impurities
Which materials can replace ST12?
ST12 is a low-carbon aluminum-killed steel with good cold formability, commonly used for simple stamping parts. ST13 and ST14 can be used as substitutes, with similar carbon content (≤0.08%); DC01 and DC03 (European standard) correspond to national standard Q195/Q215, with carbon content of 0.06~0.12%, and plasticity close to ST12; SPCC and SPCD (Japanese standard) SPCC has a carbon content of 0.10~0.15%, slightly weaker cold formability, and can replace ST12 for parts with medium stamping difficulty
