Mild steel grades for cold forming DC06

Nov 27, 2025

DC06 cold rolled steel

 

DC06 cold rolled steel has become a benchmark material in modern manufacturing where extreme formability, smooth surface quality and consistent mechanical performance are required. Classified as an extra-deep-drawing grade under EN 10130, DC06 offers significantly lower yield strength and higher elongation than standard deep-drawing steels, ensuring stable shaping even under extreme stamping pressure.
 

DC06 Cold Rolled Steel

 

Mechanical & Technical Specifications of DC06 Cold Rolled Steel

Item Value
Grade DC06 (Extra Deep Drawing Steel)
Standard EN 10130
Thickness Range 0.30 – 2.50 mm
Tensile Strength 270–350 MPa
Yield Strength ≤ 180 MPa

Industrial Advantages

The most significant advantage of DC06 steel is its performance stability under multi-stage and high-complexity deep drawing processes. Manufacturers benefit from:

Resistance to edge cracking during stamping

Excellent dimensional accuracy

Optimized weldability

Uniform coating absorption performance

 

Major Application Fields

DC06 steel coil and sheet are widely used in:

Automotive inner outer panels and crash-resistant structural parts

Fuel tanks and complex formed brackets

Refrigerator shells and washing machine cabinets

Precision electronics casings and stamping accessories
