Mild Steels
Grade Availability
Hot Rolled Grade Uncoated Commercial Steel (CS) Drawing/Forming Steel (DS/FS) Deep Drawing Steel (DDS) Extra Deep Drawing Steel (EDDS) Extra Deep Drawing Steel Plus (EDDS+) Yes: Products Commercially Available ArcelorMittal offers a variety of mild and drawing quality steels with a range of formability and coating conditions. Product Characteristics ArcelorMittal offers a wide range of Mild steels. Depending on the formability requirements the appropriate sheet steel grade may be selected. Steel grades range from Commercial Steel (CS), which have the reasonable formability to grades like Extra Deep Drawing Steel Plus (EDDS Plus) which offers superior formability. All of these grades are low carbon grades. Some of the highly formable steels contain ultra-low levels of carbon and are fully stabilized with microalloying elements like titanium and/or niobium. These steels are also commonly known as interstitial-free steels, i.e. these steels have no free, interstitially available, carbon or nitrogen. Application These steels are the most widely used grades in the automotive industry. They offer excellent formability and can be used for a range of parts from simple small brackets to complicated shapes like wheelhouses and floor-pans. The lower strength of these steels, can limit their applications where dent resistance, durability and high strength requirements are essential. These grades have excellent manufacturability and can be easily joined using conventional welding techniques. Except for CS, all others grades are available as exposed quality steels, also.

Chemistry Product CS Type A CS Type B CS Processing Depending on the applications, Commercial Steels are produced using vacuum degassed ultra-low-carbon or regular low-carbon compositions. Steels are then cast into slabs and hot rolled. Hot rolled coils are used for heavy gauge applications or further processed and cold reduced into lighter gauges. Depending upon the chemistry and hot rolling parameters the cold reduced products are further processed using batch annealing or continuously annealing technologies. Batch annealed products are available uncoated (bare) or electrogalvanized (EG). Continuously annealed products are available as bare, electrogalvanized, hot-dip-galvanized (HDGI) or hot-dip-galvannealed (HDGA).
