CR01/CR02/CR04/CR05/CR06 Cold Rolled Steel

Low carbon steel with good weldability and formability. It is commonly used in applications that require low weight and high strength, ranging from automotive body panels to appliances and office furniture. It is also used in the production of steel drums, steel pipes and other tubular products.

NOTE 1 : Only for special application, the letter B shall be added when a minimum Carbon content of 0.015% or 0.0003% (3ppm) Boron is required (i.e., CR04B).

NOTE 2 : Aluminium killed fine grain steel. Total Al content ≥ 0.015%. Titanium, Niobium and other alloying elements (e.g. B) can be used in combination for fully stabilized products. No change in mechanical properties for at least six months.

NOTE 3 : Total aluminium (free and combined).
