What are the differences between DC07 and DC05 cold-rolled steel?

Dec 05, 2025

cold rolled steel coils and sheets

 

Both DC05 and DC07 belong to the high-formability group of EN 10130 cold rolled steels. DC05 is an extra-deep-drawing steel widely used in automotive and electrical appliance components requiring good ductility. However, DC07 goes a step further, offering even lower yield strength and greater elongation, making it the top-performing grade for extremely demanding shapes.

 

Comparison of Forming Capabilities

Although DC05 supports excellent deep drawing, DC07 is specifically engineered for maximum deformation resistance-ideal for extreme geometries where even DC05 may fail.

Property DC05 DC07
Forming Grade Extra-deep-drawing Ultra-deep-drawing
Yield Strength Very low Extremely low
Elongation Very high Highest among DC grades
Formability ★★★★★ ★★★★★★
Best Application Automotive panels Precision housings, complex profiles

 

Performance Benefits of DC07 Over DC05

  • Highest Level of Drawability

DC07 delivers the maximum elongation available in EN 10130 steels.

  • Improved Dimensional Stability

Better control of anisotropy reduces the risk of earing and uneven wall thickness.

  • Supports Extremely Thin Components

DC07 can be processed into thin-gauge sheets and coils while maintaining structural consistency.

For the most demanding forming tasks, DC07 clearly outperforms DC05.
