General Info About Deep Drawing Steel

DDS is a form of low-carbon steel that is used in applications that need a very smooth surface. Its low carbon content makes this steel more formable and smoother than its sister steel drawing steel. This low carbon content also makes the steel very ductile which contributes to its easy formability.

DDS is more susceptible to fatigue and denting but has excellent weldability due to its soft nature. This steel has a low yield strength but can be manufactured in more precise measurements than other steels. This steel is used in applications such as pots and pans, containers, sinks, and certain automobile parts.

More Details About Deep Drawing Steel

  • Advantages / Disadvantages

    Advantages:

    • DDS has great forming characteristics.
    • DDS has improved surface finish over hot rolled.
    • DDS has high ductility and good weldability.

    Disadvantages:

    • DDS is more susceptible to fatigue and dents due to its soft nature.
  • Industries

    DDS is used in industries similar to drawing steel such as automotive and appliance industries. It is also used specifically for kitchen appliances.

  • Applications

    Applications for DDS are many! Pots and pans, containers, sinks, and automobile parts such as panels and gas tanks are just some of the possible applications. It is typically used in applications that need a very smooth surface.

  • Machining

    DDS is machinable. Due to its soft nature, DDS can be cut and formed with ease.

  • Welding

    Due to its low carbon content, DDS is easily weldable. DDS contains less than .05% carbon.

More Details About DDS

  • Galvanized DDS

    Galvanized DDS is deep drawing steel that has been through the galvanizing process. This means the DDS is dipped in a bath of hot zinc which gives it a brittle coating.

  • Galvannealed DDS

    Galvannealed DDS is galvanized deep drawing steel that has also been through the annealing process. The annealing process includes heat treating the steel at temperatures of over 1000 degrees. This process fuses the zinc coating and steel together.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is Deep Drawing Steel?

    ANSWER:

    Deep drawing steel is a form of low-carbon steel that is used in applications that need a very smooth surface. Its low carbon content makes this steel more formable and smoother than its sister steel drawing steel.

  • What is cold rolled deep drawing steel?

    ANSWER:

    Cold rolled deep drawing steel is deep drawing steel that has gone through the cold rolling process. Cold rolled steel is steel that has been hot rolled then additionally rolled out at room temperature. This process improves its mechanical properties.
