DC06 Cold Rolled Steel
What's the DC06 steel ?
EN 10130 is the European standard for cold-rolled, uncoated, low-carbon steel flat products with a rolled width of 600 mm or more intended for cold forming. The standard applies to products with a minimum thickness of 0.35 mm and-unless otherwise specified at the time of inquiry and order-a maximum thickness of 3 mm. Materials covered under this standard may be supplied as sheets, coils, slit coils, or cut lengths produced from coils or sheets.
The special deep-drawing grade DC06 is defined under the DIN EN 10130 standard, which applies to cold-rolled flat products made from low-carbon steels intended for cold forming. This standard specifies the performance requirements and testing methods for cold-rolled materials used across diverse industrial fields, particularly in applications where superior formability and high surface quality are essential.
DC06 is an ultra-low-carbon steel known for its exceptional cold-forming capability. Its chemical composition is strictly controlled to ensure stable mechanical performance. In most cases, DC06 contains no more than 0.01% carbon and up to 0.20% manganese, along with very small amounts of phosphorus and sulfur. This minimal alloying content is a key factor behind the steel's excellent formability and weldability.
DC06 steel is available in coil, strip and sheet form, with thicknesses ranging from 0.35 mm to 3 mm.
DC06 cold-rolled steel is supplied in two surface quality grades: Type A and Type B.
It also offers four surface finish options: b (bright), g (semi-bright), m (normal) and r (rough).
DC06 is classified as an alloy quality steel, corresponding to material number 1.0873.
The mechanical properties of DC06 are precisely specified as follows: maximum yield strength of 170 MPa, tensile strength of 270–330 MPa, minimum total elongation of 41% over 80 mm, with r90 ≥ 2.1 and n90 ≥ 0.220.
The carbon content of DC06 is limited to a maximum of 0.02%.
