EN 10130 Cold Rolled Steel: Premium Grades for Forming
Published: November 3, 2026
We are pleased to announce that our manufacturing facility produces cold rolled low carbon steel flat products designed to meet the requirements of EN 10130:2006 (BS EN 10130:2006). This European standard covers uncoated cold rolled low carbon steel intended for cold forming and provides important technical requirements for steel used in demanding manufacturing applications.
For international buyers, manufacturers and steel distributors, selecting the right EN 10130 cold rolled steel grade is essential for achieving consistent forming performance, suitable surface quality and reliable downstream processing. Our product range includes grades for general forming as well as more demanding drawing and deep-drawing applications.
Why EN 10130:2006 Matters for Cold Rolled Steel
EN 10130:2006 specifies technical requirements for cold rolled uncoated low carbon steel flat products for cold forming. These requirements help buyers assess whether a steel grade is suitable for their production processes and finished products.
Key considerations include:
- Formability: Different grades are intended for different levels of bending, forming and drawing requirements.
- Surface quality: Surface quality requirements are important when steel will undergo painting, coating or other finishing processes.
- Mechanical properties: Yield strength, tensile strength and elongation are among the parameters used to evaluate material performance.
- Consistent processing: Selecting a grade that matches the forming process can help manufacturers plan production and reduce material-related processing issues.
Actual properties and acceptance requirements should be confirmed against the applicable standard, product specification and agreed technical documentation.
EN 10130 Steel Grades: From DC01 to DC07
Different applications require different levels of formability. Our product range covers the following grades as described in our current product specification:
- DC01: Suitable for basic bending and general forming applications.
- DC03 and DC04: Intended for more demanding drawing and forming operations.
- DC05, DC06 and DC07: Options for applications requiring higher formability, including complex forming and deep drawing.
The appropriate grade depends on component design, forming depth, tooling, required mechanical properties and the customer’s production conditions. Buyers should specify the required grade and application when requesting a quotation.
Surface Quality, Finish and Delivery Conditions
Surface characteristics can be an important factor in applications that require painting, coating or an attractive finished appearance.
EN 10130 includes surface quality categories such as Quality A and Quality B. The required category should be selected according to the intended use and the surface requirements of the finished product.
Surface finish options listed in our product information include:
- Bright
- Semi-bright
- Normal
- Rough
Surface roughness requirements and measurement methods should be confirmed with the supplier before ordering. Where specific surface appearance or coating performance is required, buyers should provide the relevant technical specifications.
Our supplied product information also describes skin-passed delivery conditions and a neutral, non-drying oil layer for temporary corrosion protection. The required surface treatment, packaging and protection period should be confirmed for each order and shipment.
Applications of EN 10130 Cold Rolled Steel
EN 10130 cold rolled steel is used in a range of manufacturing and processing applications, depending on the selected grade and agreed properties.
Automotive components: Suitable grades may be used for inner body panels, brackets and formed components.
Home appliances: Cold rolled steel can be used in panels and components for refrigerators, washing machines and HVAC equipment.
Construction and metal furniture: Potential applications include shelving systems, partition frames and metal furniture components.
Metal processing: Cold rolled low carbon steel is used in stamping, roll forming and tube manufacturing where the specified material properties meet production requirements.
For applications involving complex shapes or deep drawing, buyers should provide drawings, forming requirements and the required steel grade so that the material specification can be evaluated appropriately.
