Which carbon steel grades are used for stamped parts?
Answer
Mild Steel Solenoid Valve Deep Drawn Housing 65Mn Spring Steel Shim Blanking Stamped Metal Brackets For Date Printer Gun FAQ Which carbon steel grades do you use? + Mild steel (SPCC/DC01 class), high-strength and spring steel (65Mn) are commonly processed. Grade selection follows the drawing and function. Can carbon steel parts be plated?

- Carbon Steel Stamping & Deep Drawing | BalfordSPCC / SPHC (JIS): common from Asian coil suppliers. SPCC behaves like commercial quality; SPHC is hot-rolled, thicker, and used for heavier brackets and structural parts. DD11–DD14 and S235–S355: structural forming grades, when strength matters more than drawability. Two coils can look ...
- Deep Drawing Steel Grades: DC01 to DC06 and EquivalentsDeep drawing uses low carbon cold rolled steel, graded by how much deformation it can take. In the European system, EN 10130 runs from DC01 for bending and folding, through DC03 for drawing quality and DC04 for deep drawing quality, to DC05 and DC06 for extra deep drawing, with DC06 supplied as an i...

What an engineer still needs from you
- material and material condition (grade, temper)
- material thickness, plus the key diameter, height and wall thickness
- tolerances, burr direction and the visual acceptance standard
- annual volume - it decides whether tooling is single-hit, progressive or transfer
- surface finish, and any secondary machining, annealing or plating
Need a DFM feasibility assessment for your project?
Send the engineering drawing (STEP or PDF) with the material grade, thickness and annual volume. Balford engineers then check it against the process window - draw ratio, wall thickness, tolerances, blank and tooling route - and come back with what is feasible and what is not. An answer on this page cannot replace that review.
