Cold Low Carbon Steel is obtained from the cold reduction of pickled hot rolled steel. The result of this process is a material with excellent surface finish (specific roughness) and greater thickness control.
These steel coils undergo a high-temperature annealing process to regenerate the internal structure and achieve specific mechanical properties that allow their malleability in stamping, bending and deep drawing processes; cold-rolled steel offers better control of the thickness range from 0.010″ to 0.082″. Low-carbon steels provide malleability and ductility to manufacturing and stamping processes.
Characteristics of Cold Low Carbon Steel
Low-carbon cold-rolled materials have a wide range of standards and grades developed internationally (ASTM, SAE, EN, etc.) and by automaker (GMW, Ford, Nissan, etc.); their applications range from the manufacture of automotive parts (brackets, chassis, shock absorbers), household appliances, furniture and the electronics industry, among others.
Low-carbon cold-rolled steel (CRS) is ideal for light-duty blanking (LHD), medium-duty blanking (FHD, DS), and deep-duty blanking (DDS, EDDS). Some of the standards we use for cold-rolled steel include ASTM, SAE, EN, NES, Ford, GMW, VW, Stellantis (formerly FCA-Chrysler), among others.
