Drawing steel, or DS steel, is steel that is known for having higher quality than commercial steel. This steel is made with higher standards and is manufactured in a more controlled process than commercial steel. It has a more uniform surface than commercial steel and is used for drawn parts where surface uniformity is more important than a typical commercial application.
Drawing steel has a low carbon level allowing it to be welded easily. This low carbon content also allows for more ductility and easy forming as well. These factors make drawing steel great for automotive stamping, roofs, floor plans, doors, and much more. Industries that commonly use drawing steel include aerospace, automotive, appliance, and metal furniture.
Cold drawing steel is used in a variety of industries. These industries include aerospace, automotive, appliance, furniture, hand and power tools, and lawn and garden.
There is a multitude of applications for cold drawing steel. These applications include automotive stampings, such as body sides and hoods, roofs, floor plans, and doors. Some other examples of applications are lighting fixtures and metal furniture.
Due to drawing steel having a limited carbon content it also has great ductility, especially when compared to commercial steel. This steel is typically used to create parts and shapes for the automotive industry meaning it needs to be easy to machine. Drawing steel is easily cut and formed into different shapes.
Cold drawing steel has a low carbon level and limited carbon content making it rather easy to weld when compared to commercial steel.

Cold drawing steel is steel that has gone through a more controlled manufacturing process when compared to commercial steel. This drawing steel has been cold rolled and not hot rolled.
Galvanized drawing steel is drawing steel that has gone through the galvanizing process. This means the steel has been dipped in a protective zinc coating to prevent rusting.
Galvannealed drawing steel is drawing steel that has gone through the galvanization process, and then the additional annealing process. This means the galvanized drawing steel is then heat-treated at temperatures of over 1000 degrees. This creates an annealed layer.

ANSWER:
Drawing steel is a type of carbon steel that is more ductile than commercial-quality steel. It is used for parts that require higher-quality surface area.
CS stands for carbon steel. Carbon steel is steel that has a carbon content of up to 0.05 to 2.1 percent by weight. Drawing steel has a lower carbon content than carbon steel. Carbon content is the main difference between the two steels.
