Steel DC01

DC01 steel  is a popular steel grade in Europe, which is defined by technical standards in terms of quality. This means that it is steel that meets certain quality standards in terms of chemical composition and mechanical properties. Here are the main characteristics of DC01 steel:

The chemical composition of DC01 steel is:

• Iron (Fe) – the main component of steel;
• Carbon (C) - the carbon content in DC01 steel is very low, usually below 0.1%. The low carbon content makes the steel soft and easy to form;
• Manganese (Mn) – manganese may be present at levels up to approximately 0.6%, which helps maintain the strength and flexibility of the steel;
• Phosphorus (P) and sulfur (S) – usually present in small amounts and their presence is controlled during the production process.

Properties and applications of DC01 steel

DC01 steel is characterized by great softness and  ductility , which means that it is easy to cut, bend and cold form. It is often used in the production of complex shaped parts, such as steel sheets. This material has a low tensile strength compared to other types of steel. DC01 steel is used in various industries, such as:

• automotive industry,
• construction industry,
• electronics industry.
