Description

This grade is suitable for light and deep drawing and two-side enamelling adapted to the client's process (wet or dry enamelling). It also offers excellent resistance to "fish scale" defects. We can guarantee a minimum TH of 100, in accordance with EN 10209.

After drawing, cold rolled steels for conventional enamelling are used for:

Ground-coat enamelling one coat / one fire

Conventional enamelling two coats / two fires

Grade DC05EK was developed for the manufacture of bathtubs.

Technological properties

Property
Application areas	This steel has many applications: Domestic appliances (cooking, laundry) Sanitary ware (bathtubs, shower trays, sinks), in particular grade DC05EK EN 10209, which has improved mechanical properties for the manufacture of bathtubs Architectural panels (building interiors and exteriors, transport and infrastructure), signage Industry
Coating	Enamelling Surface preparation: If an additive-free ground-coat enamel is used (e.g. without adhesion oxides), light pickling is recommended after meticulous degreasing (targeting an iron loss of 5 g/m2 per side). Pickling can be avoided by using a ground-coat enamel with the addition of adhesion oxides (nickel or cobalt oxides) Application of the enamel and firing: DC05EK is compatible with all the common enamelling processes: wet spraying, wet or dry electrostatic deposition This grade has a very good level of internal purity (few inclusions) and consistency. The risk of the appearance of defects such as black dots, lines or bubbles is minimal. A good resistance to "fish scale" defects is obtained through tight control of manufacturing conditions Finally, firing is performed at a temperature of about 830°C.
Joining	It can be welded without any difficulty, whatever the welding process may be. Other joining processes (clinching, crimping) may also be used.
Processing methods	Grade DC05EK EN 10209, which has superior mechanical properties compared with DC04EK EN 10209, is especially intended for forming bathtubs.
