DC04ED Sheet Steel — Specifications, Applications, Properties
General Technical Characteristics
DC04ED sheet steel is a low-carbon cold-rolled steel grade specifically designed for deep drawing and enameling applications. The ED (Enamelled Drawing) designation indicates that the material is suitable for direct enamel coating. It complies with the EN 10209 European standard, which regulates cold rolled low carbon steel flat products for enameling.
The material is available in sheets or coils with a thickness range of 0.5 mm to 2 mm. DC04ED is characterized by excellent plasticity, uniform grain structure, dimensional stability, and good weldability.
Applications of DC04ED Steel
Thanks to its high formability and enamel-friendly properties, DC04ED sheet is widely used in manufacturing processes involving deep drawing and subsequent enameling. Common applications include:
- production of enameled cookware and kitchenware
- manufacturing of gas and electric stoves
- components for water heaters and boilers
- white goods and household appliances
- enameled tanks and pressure vessels
- metal housings and interior elements requiring enamel coating

Key Features and Benefits
- ✅ Perfect for direct enameling — excellent enamel adhesion without flaking
- ✅ High formability — suitable for deep drawing and complex shapes
- ✅ Dimensional stability with low internal stress
- ✅ Excellent weldability using standard methods
- ✅ Homogeneous structure free of internal defects
The low carbon content significantly reduces the risk of cracking during forming and improves the quality of the final enameled surface.
Chemical Composition (per EN 10209)
| Element | Max. Content (%) |
|---|---|
| Carbon (C) | 0.06 |
| Manganese (Mn) | 0.45 |
| Silicon (Si) | 0.03 |
| Sulfur (S) | 0.02 |
| Phosphorus (P) | 0.020 |
| Aluminum (Al) | ≥0.020 (residual) |
This optimized chemical composition provides high plasticity, thermal stability, and suitability for direct enameling.
Mechanical Properties
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Yield Strength (Rp0.2), MPa | ≤ 180 |
| Tensile Strength (Rm), MPa | 270–350 |
| Elongation, % | ≥ 38 |
| Brinell Hardness | ≤ 70 HB |
These mechanical parameters make DC04ED steel ideal for applications requiring precision forming, dimensional control, and surface treatment compatibility.
