Description
Cold rolled deep drawing steel is a low carbon steel with relatively low yield strength and very good forming characteristics. Use it for very deep drawing applications that need a very smooth surface. Cold drawn steel is steel that is drawn passes through a series of dies to achieve the desired shape. Cold drawn steel is manufactured at room temperatures, which requires additional pressure to shape the steel, but provides additional qualities and a visually aesthetic appearance.
Properties of Deep Drawing Steel
- Weldability: low-carbon levels make DDS a candidate for welding
- Fatigue Performance: more susceptible to fatigue than higher strength steels
- Denting: more susceptible to denting
Specifications of Cold Rolled Deep Drawing Steel
Strength, Yield Strength ksi(MPa), Tensile Strength ksi(MPa): Strong, 18-30 (125-210)
- For higher strength and lower weight, consider High-strength, Low-alloy
Formability: % Elongation: Excellent, ≥ 38%
- For better formability consider Extra Deep Drawing Steel
Corrosion Resistance: Fair
- For better corrosion resistance, consider Coated Steel
Why Use Cold Rolled Deep Drawing Steel?
- Cold drawn steel can be manufactured to more precise measurements
- Cold drawn steel has improved yield strength and tensile strength over hot rolled steel
- Cold drawn steel has an improved surface finish over hot rolled steel
- Recommended for: Very deep drawing and difficult forming applications that need a very smooth surface
- Cost: Medium
