Cold Rolled Steel Grade Comparison Table

SPCC, DC01, St12, CS and CR1 all describe roughly the same commercial quality cold rolled steel. This table maps the drawing quality and deep drawing grades across ten standards.

Reading the Cold Rolled Grade Families

Cold rolled carbon steel strip is graded mainly by how far it can be formed. The commercial quality grade is used for flat and lightly formed parts, the drawing quality grade for moderate forming and the deep drawing grades for shells and housings that are pulled hard. Every national standard names those families differently.

Yongxin supplies cold rolled steel foil and coil in SPCC, SPCD and SPCE, or another grade specified by the customer, against GB, DIN, BS, JIS and ASTM.

Choosing Between SPCC SPCD and SPCE

  • SPCC is commercial quality. Use it for flat parts, brackets, panels and light forming.
  • SPCD is drawing quality with more elongation. Use it where the part is drawn but not severely.
  • SPCE is deep drawing quality. Use it for shells, cups and housings with a high draw ratio.

If a trial part cracks, the grade is only one of the variables. Temper, surface condition and lubrication all matter. Send us the failed sample and the draw ratio and we will look at all of them.

Cold Rolled Steel Foil/Coil Cold Rolled Steel Foil/Coil0.035 - 0.8 mm thickness / 50 - 520 mm widthDeep drawing quality SPCC, SPCD and SPCE strip down to 0.035 mm for stamped brackets, tube stock, enclosures and lamination blanks.

Thickness Band Available

Cold rolled steel foil and coil is produced from 0.035 mm to 0.8 mm thick in widths from 50 mm to 520 mm. Below 0.1 mm the strip behaves like a foil, so flatness, coil tension and packing become part of the specification rather than an afterthought.

FAQ

Questions About This Topic

What is the EN equivalent of SPCC
DC01 in EN 10130 is the usual equivalent for the commercial quality family, with St12 as the older DIN 1623 designation. Confirm the mechanical requirements against the standard you are working to.
Which grade should I use for a deep drawn part
Start with SPCE for a severe draw and SPCD for a moderate one. Send the draw ratio and part geometry so we can advise on temper as well as grade.
Can you supply DC05 or DC06
Grades outside the standard list can be produced when specified by the customer. State the grade and standard in your enquiry so we can confirm.
Do the grade names affect the mill certificate
Yes. Tell us which standard the certificate must be issued against so the designations on the document match your incoming inspection.
