Drawing and Forming Steel Grades

Hot rolled formable steel coil
General description
Mittal Steel South Africa normally produces hot rolled drawing and forming steels in accordance with
BS 1449: Section 1.2: 1991 or equivalent EN 10111 grades. Similar steels in accordance with other
specifications such as DIN 1614 can be produced on enquiry.
Hot rolled drawing and forming steels are intended for applications where cold formability is the primary
requirement. Formability is normally assured by careful control of the chemical composition of the steel and
the subsequent processing parameters. These steel grades may be welded using any of the standard arc and
resistance welding processes without any special precautions.
The following four steel grades produced by Mittal Steel South Africa offer a series of decreasing formability.

Description
Extra deep drawing properties for fabricating parts where
very severe drawing or forming is involved.
Extra deep drawing properties for applications involving
severe drawing.
Deep drawing quality for general drawing applications.
Drawing or forming quality for general forming applications.
The drawing and forming steels must be differentiated from the SUPRAFORM HR and TM ranges which are
structural steels with improved formability.
Formability requirements vary widely. It may be advisable to seek the advice of the supplier concerning
the most suitable steel for a new application. In certain non-critical applications it would be more
economical to use commercial steels as described in the data sheet: General Purpose and Commercial
Steels (file reference A2.1)

Notes:
1. KHR1 and DD14 is always aluminium killed and continuously cast with an aluminium content of
0,02% minimum.
2. HR2, HR3, HR4, DD13, DD12 and DD11 are aluminium killed and continuously cast.
Mechanical properties
The mechanical properties indicated in Table 4 & 5 are the minimum values specified. The material will
exhibit the indicated properties in the hot rolled condition before any drawing or forming has taken place.
Cold forming of steel results in work hardening that can result in an increase in yield strength and a decrease
in elongation.
The tensile properties given in brackets are for guidance only and are not mandatory unless agreed upon at
the time of ordering.

Notes:
1. For material thinner than 2,3mm, the percentage elongation is reduced by 1% for each 0,25 mm
reduction in thickness.
2. Test and analysis certificates are supplied for KHR1 and HR2. For HR3 and HR4 the tensile properties
given in brackets are for guidance only and are not mandatory unless agreed to at the time of ordering.
3. Test certificates will not normally be supplied for these grades.

Dimensions
Drawing and forming steels are available in thicknesses ranging from 2,0mm to 10,0mm and widths
from 760mm to 1 870mm.
In order to possess good drawing, forming and pressing properties, hot rolled strip must have a
homogeneous microstructure that can be achieved only if the strip temperature is accurately
controlled during hot rolling. This becomes difficult when the thickness is less than 2,0mm.
Therefore, if thinner material is required, cold rolled strip should be used.
For more detail on the dimensions available, refer to the data sheet: Hot Strip Mill Product Dimensions
(file reference A1.1).
Dimensional tolerances
For dimensional tolerances, refer to the data sheet: Hot Strip Mill Product Tolerances (file reference
A1.2).
Certification
Analysis and test certificates will be supplied subject to the conditions described in Table 3, note 2.
Supply conditions
All material described in this data sheet is supplied in terms of Price Lists 120 and 121 and Mittal Steel
South Africas General Conditions of Sale.
