General information about steel plate DC11

1. Chemical steel composition DC11
When it comes to cold-rolled steel, it is impossible to mention Japan with long-standing manufacturers. And today we would like to introduce the DC11 steel sheet line manufactured by DaiDo in accordance with JIS standards of Japan.

General information about steel plate DC11
DC11 steel plate has the following basic chemical components:
 - Carbon content accounts for about 1.47% - 1.49%;
 - Silicon content accounts for about 0.3% - 0.31%;
 - Manganese content accounts for about 0.33% - 0.38%;
 - Phosphorus content accounts for about 0.019% - 0.026%;
 - Sulfur content accounts for about 0.01% - 0.02%;
 - Chromium content accounts for about 11.53% - 11.67%;
 - Molipden content accounts for about 0.81% - 0.84%;
 - Vanadium content accounts for about 0.21%;
 - Copper content accounts for about 0.1% - 0.11%;
 - The nickel content accounts for about 0.09% - 0.21%.
Steel has a high hardness because of a carbon content of 1.49%. In addition, DC11 steel has good abrasion resistance thanks to the addition of Molybdenum component with the rate of 0.84% ​​in the total chemical structure.
2. Specification of DC11 steel plate according to manufacturer standards
On the market today, DC11 steel grade is most often supplied with sheets. Common specifications are sheets with size:
 - Thickness: 8 mm - 150 mm;
 - Width: 305 mm or 410 mm;
 - Length: 4000 mm or 6000 mm.
Currently, DC11 solid steel market is scarce. Therefore, it is difficult to find the right DC11 solid steel in the right rows.
3. Common application of DC11 steel plate
DC11 is a very famous line of mold-making steels in Japan, because of easy cutting machining and hardness achieved after annealing (I vacuum) reaches between 60 HRC and 62 HRC. Therefore, the first application when it comes to them is cold stamping as metal stamping, grand stamping dies, ...
In addition, with very good mechanical resistance, high stiffness but still very good elasticity, DC11 steel is ideal for making corrugated knives, iron chopping knives, wood chopping knives, sliders, ...
Besides the SKD11 steel line, the DC11 is the right choice for cutting tool applications, cold dies or other highly technical details. Hopefully, the general information about DC11 steel plate will help readers in choosing steel grades that suit their applications.
