To obtain the hot low carbon steel The process begins with the production of hot rolled steel, which is based on a mixture of at least 2% carbon with other components such as manganese, phosphorus, silicon and sulfur; The mixture of said elements is heated to more than 1,000 degrees Celsius and then passed through a laminator where the thickness is commonly reduced in ranges from 0.0590″ to 0.500″; It is wound and allowed to cool, marking the origin of different stamping or die-cutting processes in various industries such as automotive and construction.
The alloying elements used in the original mixture determine the characteristics and mechanical properties in the final product such as resistance to penetration or tension, ability to be molded without breaking, weldability, among others.
International Standards and Grades of Hot Low Carbon Steel
Low carbon hot rolled materials have developed a wide range of standards and grades internationally (ASTM, SAE, EN, etc.) and by manufacturer (GMW, Ford, Nissan, etc.); Its applications range from structural uses, heavy machinery, to stamping automotive parts.
Properties of hot low carbon steel
The chemical and mechanical properties of low carbon steels are ideal for light punching (CS); medium die cuts (FS, DS) and for deep die cuts (DDS, EDDS). Some of the standards we use for hot rolled steel are: ASTM, SAE, EN, NES, Ford, GMW, VW, Stellantis (formerly FCA-Chrysler), among others.
