Common Ultra-Low Carbon Steel Grade
| Grade | Standard | Description |
|---|---|---|
| IF Steel (Interstitial-Free) | ASTM A1008 / JIS G3141 | Titanium or niobium stabilized ultra-low carbon steel for deep draw applications with excellent formability. |
| DC05 / DC06 | EN 10130 | Cold-rolled ultra-low carbon steel grades with high elongation and low yield strength, ideal for drawing and forming. |
| SPCE / SPCF / SPCG | JIS G3141 | Japanese ultra-low carbon cold-rolled grades for deep drawing (SPCE) and extra-deep drawing (SPCF, SPCG). |
| CR5 / CR6 | ISO 3574 | International IF steel grades for high-performance cold forming and stamping. |
| BH Steel (Bake Hardening) | Customized, often based on IF steel | Ultra-low carbon steel that increases hardness after paint baking—commonly used in automotive outer panels. |
| Ti-IF / Nb-IF | OEM/Automotive Standards | Titanium- or niobium-stabilized ultra-low carbon steels tailored to specific forming or welding requirements. |
Applications of Ultra-low Carbon Steel
Ultra-low carbon steel is widely used in industries that demand excellent formability, clean surface finish, and superior weldability. Its primary application is in the automotive industry, where it is used for manufacturing body panels, inner structures, and fuel tanks due to its deep drawing and stamping performance. In the home appliance sector, it is used in parts like washing machine drums, refrigerator doors, and microwave casings. It is also suitable for metal packaging, such as food cans and bottle caps, and electronics, where precise stamping and coating are required. Its consistent mechanical properties make it ideal for high-precision, mass-production components. Welcome to contact us today.
- Automotive Industry: Lightweight body panels, chassis components, and crash-resistant structures (reduces vehicle weight by 15–20%).
- Energy Sector: Pipelines for hydrogen/LNG transport (withstands -196°C to 500°C temperatures).
- Construction: Seismic-resistant steel frames and corrosion-resistant roofing (30-year warranty).
- Packaging: Deep-drawn cans and food-grade containers (FDA-approved grades).
Advantages of Ultra-low Carbon Steel
| Feature | Specification | Industry Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Carbon Content | <0.01% (ASTM A1008 Standard) | Eliminates brittleness, enhances formability |
| Tensile Strength | 270–350 MPa (Grade CS Type B) | High load-bearing capacity without cracking |
| Elongation | ≥40% (ASTM E8 Test) | Ideal for deep-drawing automotive panels |
| Corrosion Resistance | 2x longer lifespan vs. standard steel | Reduces maintenance costs in marine/energy sectors |
| Surface Finish | 95% defect-free (ISO 9001:2015 Certified) | Minimizes post-processing for manufacturers |
