Cold Rolled Steel Coil DC06
DC06 is an ultra-low carbon steel characterized by outstanding cold formability. The chemical composition of DC06 is precisely defined to ensure that the material has the required mechanical properties. Typically, DC06 contains a maximum of 0.01% carbon, a maximum of 0.20% manganese and only minimal traces of phosphorus and sulphur. This small amount of alloying elements contributes to the steel's exceptional formability and weldability.
The mechanical properties of DC06 are also clearly defined. The material has a maximum yield strength of 120 MPa and a tensile strength of between 270 and 350 MPa. In addition, DC06 has an elongation at break of at least 40%, which underlines its excellent formability. These properties make DC06 particularly suitable for the production of complex and precise components that require high formability, such as deep-drawn body parts in the automotive industry or sophisticated components in the household appliance industry.
The DIN EN 10130 standard also specifies the tolerances for dimensions, shape and surface finish. These tolerances are crucial to ensure consistently high product quality and to meet the requirements of the end user. The surface of the cold-rolled flat products can be supplied in various qualities, from matt to glossy, to meet the specific requirements of different applications.
