Overview Text

KGW DC01 (cold-rolled bright steel)

Metals

KGW DC01 is a cold-rolled, non-alloy steel grade with a low carbon content, known for its excellent formability and smooth surface. Thanks to the pickling process, the mill scale is removed, resulting in a bright, metallic finish. This makes the material ideal for applications where a high-quality finish is required. 
Common alternative designations are 1.0330, St12 and CR4.

Frequently Asked Questions about STEEL KGW DC01

What does “KGW” mean in KGW DC01?

“KGW” stands for “Koudgewalst” (cold-rolled), indicating the steel is produced via a cold-rolling process, yielding a smooth surface and tight tolerances.

Is KGW DC01 suitable for welding?

Yes, KGW DC01 welds well with common methods like MIG and TIG without special precautions.

 

Can KGW DC01 be used for visible applications?

Yes, its smooth, uniform finish makes it ideal for parts that remain exposed.

 

What’s the difference between KGW DC01 and WGW S235JR?

KGW DC01 is cold-rolled with a smoother surface and tighter tolerances; WGW S235JR is hot-rolled and typically has a rougher finish.

Is KGW DC01 suitable for powder coating?

Yes, the smooth surface of KGW DC01 is perfect for powder coat and other surface treatments.

 

What thicknesses does KGW DC01 come in?

Available in various gauges, typically from 0.5 mm to 3 mm, depending on the supplier.

Is the material magnetic?

Yes, KGW DC01 is ferromagnetic and suitable for applications requiring magnetic properties.

 

How should KGW DC01 be stored?

Store dry and indoors to prevent corrosion; although it carries a light oil film, additional protection is advised for longer storage.
