DC06 Low-carbon Steel Coil
What is DC06 steel?
DC06 steel is a low-carbon cold-rolled grade defined under the European standard. As the highest formability class within cold-rolled sheet products, it represents the top performance level in terms of ductility, uniformity and dimensional stability. This grade is specifically intended for applications that demand extreme forming capability and consistent material behavior.
One of its most common uses is in the automotive sector, where it is widely employed for stamping large, highly complex structural and body components.

FAQ
1. Q: What is the difference between DCO6 and DC04 steel?
A: DCO6 is a higher grade of deep drawing steel compared to DC04. DC04 is suitable for high forming requirements, while DCO6 is designed for the highest forming requirements, offering even better deep drawing capabilities and lower carbon content.
2. Q: What are the mechanical property parameters for DCO6 cold-rolled steel?
A: The typical mechanical property parameters for DCO6 include: maximum yield strength of 120 MPa, tensile strength between 270 and 350 MPa, and a minimum elongation at break of 40%.
3. Q: What is the surface quality of DCO6?
A: DCO6 cold-rolled steel typically has a smooth, uniform surface finish. This not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the final product but also aids in subsequent surface treatments such as painting and coating.
4. Q: Is DCO6 material easy to weld?
A: Due to its extremely low carbon content and minimal alloying elements, DCO6 has good weldability.
