Core Definition & Standard Compliance

 

JAC270E cold rolled hot dip galvanized steel is a deep-drawing grade designed for automotive and high-precision manufacturing. Its grade designation follows JFS standards, with clear parameter definitions:

  • JAC: Abbreviation for Japanese Automotive Cold-rolled steel, indicating its specialization for automotive applications.
  • 270: Minimum tensile strength of 270 MPa, the core performance benchmark for the grade.
  • E: Deep-drawing quality grade, signifying higher formability than JAC270C/D and lower than JAC270F.

Processing: Cold rolled (CR) base material + hot dip galvanized (HDG) Zn-Fe alloy coating, combining the advantages of cold-rolled precision and galvanized corrosion protection.

 

All JAC270E products from GNEE STEEL meet strict JFS standards, with full mill test certificates (MTC) provided for each batch, ensuring compatibility with global automotive supply chains.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

 

1. What is the difference between JAC270E and other JAC 270-series grades (C/D/F)?

The key difference lies in formability: JAC270C (commercial forming) < JAC270D (drawing quality) < JAC270E (deep drawing) < JAC270F (extra deep drawing). JAC270E has lower carbon content (≤0.08%) and higher elongation/r-value than C/D, making it suitable for more complex deep-drawing applications.

 

2. Can JAC270E be used for extreme deep drawing?

JAC270E is designed for deep drawing (elongation 42–55%, r-value ≥1.4), but for extreme deep drawing (e.g., very complex shell parts), JAC270F (extra deep drawing grade) is recommended. JAC270E is ideal for most deep-drawing needs in automotive and appliance manufacturing.

 

3. What coating options are available for JAC270E?

JAC270E is primarily supplied with hot dip Zn-Fe alloy (ZF) coating, with coating weights from 60–440g/m² (double-sided). Surface finishes include oiled, passivated, BNA, and phosphate-treated, customizable to your painting or processing requirements.

 

4. What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for JAC270E?

The standard MOQ for JAC270E coils is 20–25 tons, while cut sheet orders start at 5 tons. GNEE STEEL offers flexible order quantities and mixed container loads to accommodate both small-scale and large-volume production needs.

 

5. Is JAC270E compatible with welding processes?

Yes. JAC270E's low carbon content (≤0.08%) and optimized composition ensure excellent weldability, compatible with resistance spot welding (common in automotive production), MIG, TIG, and laser welding. Proper welding parameters maintain material ductility and coating integrity.

 

6. What are the dimensional tolerances for JAC270E?

JAC270E has strict dimensional tolerances: thickness tolerance ±0.02mm, width tolerance ±1.0mm, and length tolerance ±2.0mm (for cut sheets). The cold rolled base ensures high flatness, suitable for automated stamping lines.

 

7. Does JAC270E meet automotive industry standards?

Yes. JAC270E fully complies with JFS A2001 (cold-rolled automotive steel) and JFS A3011 (galvannealed automotive steel) standards, making it compatible with global automotive supply chains (e.g., Toyota, Honda, Nissan).

 

8. How does JAC270E compare to DC04 steel?

JAC270E and DC04 (EN 10130 standard) are both deep-drawing grades, but JAC270E offers higher elongation (42–55% vs. DC04's 38–48%) and better galvanized coating adhesion, making it more suitable for automotive components requiring both deep drawability and corrosion resistance.
