EN 10111 is a European standard that covers hot-rolled low carbon steel sheets and strips intended for cold forming. These steels are mainly used in manufacturing automotive parts, household appliances, furniture, and other components that require bending, pressing, or shaping. EN 10111 grades include DD11, DD12, DD13, and DD14, with each grade offering different levels of formability. These materials are soft, ductile, and easy to process, making them ideal for deep drawing and complex shaping operations. The steel also provides a smooth surface finish, which is beneficial for painted or coated applications. EN 10111 is preferred for its reliability, ease of fabrication, and suitability for mass production where precision and consistency in forming are essential. Benefits
Excellent Formability – Ideal for cold forming processes like bending, drawing, and pressing without cracking.
Smooth Surface Finish – Provides a clean surface suitable for painting or coating in final applications.
High Ductility – Allows easy shaping into complex parts, especially useful in automotive and appliance industries.
Cost-Effective – Low carbon content makes it affordable for mass production and general-purpose forming.
Consistent Quality – Manufactured under strict European standards, ensuring reliable performance in various fabrication processes.
