DC01EK Cold Rolled Enameling Steel Sheet & Coil

High Formability · Anti-Fishscale Guaranteed · Ideal for Traditional Enameling Process
Household Enamelware, Water Heater Tanks, Industrial Components

📋 Product Overview

DC01EK is a premium cold rolled low carbon steel sheet specially designed for vitreous enamelling, conforming to GB/T 13790-2025. With stamping level 01 and EK classification (traditional enameling process), it offers excellent forming characteristics, superior enamel adhesion, and reliable anti-fishscale performance. Supplied in annealed + skin-passed condition, mechanical properties are guaranteed for 6 months from manufacture date.

📌 Grade code: D (cold forming) + C (cold rolled) + 01 (stamping level) + EK (traditional enameling).

When we supply DC01EK cold rolled steel plates, we are not just delivering a standard product — we are supporting manufacturers who care about surface quality, consistency, and forming performance.

From our experience working with customers across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, DC01EK is often selected for applications where appearance and precision really matter. If you are producing components like washing machine panels, refrigerator parts, or other visible surfaces, you will quickly notice the difference compared to ordinary cold rolled steel. The surface is cleaner, more uniform, and better suited for further processing.

We understand that for you, it’s not only about meeting the DC01 standard. What really matters is how the steel performs during production — whether it runs smoothly in stamping, whether the surface remains stable after forming, and whether it helps you reduce defects. DC01EK offers a more reliable balance in this aspect, with improved surface quality and consistent forming performance.

In our daily supply, we’ve seen that customers who choose DC01EK are usually focused on long-term stability rather than short-term cost. A consistent material helps reduce rework, improve efficiency, and keep production predictable — especially in high-volume manufacturing.

As a DC01EK cold rolled steel supplier, we focus on stable quality, accurate thickness, and reliable supply. If you are currently sourcing DC01EK or comparing it with other cold rolled steel grades, we are always ready to understand your application and recommend the most suitable solution.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

📦 What is the lead time for DC01EK enameling steel?
Our standard lead time is 35-55 days after order confirmation, depending on quantity and specification requirements. Express delivery options are available upon request.
💰 What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
The typical MOQ is 25 tons per specification. Trial orders of 10-15 tons can be arranged for customer qualification. Contact us for sample requests.
🧪 How does DC01EK prevent fishscaling during enameling?
DC01EK features strictly controlled chemistry (ultra-low carbon, aluminum killed) and hydrogen permeation test value TH ≥ 6.7 min/mm², which effectively blocks hydrogen diffusion and prevents fishscale defects. We can provide the hydrogen permeation test report upon request.
🎨 What surface quality levels are available?
We offer FB (finish B), FC (finish C), and FD (superior) surface quality per GB/T 13790-2025 Table 8. FC and FD surfaces are guaranteed to have no visible defects on the better side, ensuring excellent enameling appearance.
📄 How long are the mechanical properties guaranteed?
Per GB/T 13790-2025 clause 7.2, mechanical properties (yield strength, tensile strength, elongation) are guaranteed for 6 months from the date of manufacture, provided proper storage conditions. However, due to aging effects, we recommend using the material as soon as possible for optimal forming performance.
🚢 What packaging options are available for export?
We offer export-grade moisture-proof packaging including VCI anti-rust paper, waterproof underlayer, edge protection, and seaworthy wooden pallets. Standard oiled or dry (non-oiled) options are available based on your requirements.
