DC03 and DC04 are designations for cold-rolled, low-carbon steel coils, commonly used in applications requiring good formability.
Key Characteristics:
- Low Carbon Content: Typically less than 0.15% carbon, contributing to excellent weldability and formability.
- Cold Rolled: Processed at room temperature, resulting in tighter dimensional tolerances, improved surface finish, and increased strength compared to hot-rolled steel.
- Formability: DC03 and DC04 are specifically designed for drawing and forming operations. DC03 is suited for deep drawing and difficult profiling. DC04 offers even greater ductility.
Material Properties:
- DC03: Suitable for more demanding forming requirements compared to DC01.
- DC04: Features a yield strength between 140 and 325 MPa, tensile strength from 270 to 690 MPa, and elongation exceeding 24%.
Applications:
Common applications include automotive parts, appliances, and general manufacturing where intricate shapes are required.
The cold rolling process enhances the steel’s mechanical properties and surface quality. Manufacturers like Shanxi Luokaiwei Steel Company focus on delivering consistent quality for these demanding applications.
