CR steel is available from Norex in coils, sheets, offcut sheets, and slit coils. The material is available in quality grades ranging from very soft, deep drawing quality up to stronger steel with higher yield points. The numeric value in the quality indicates the minimum Yield Point in N/mm2. The higher the number, the stronger the steel. Please note that steel with same Yield Point also can have different characteristics depending on the additional letters in the quality grade.
The strength of the material depending on the quality can be summarized as follows:
Hardness |
Quality |
Extra mild |
DC04-DC07 |
Soft Commercial |
DC01-DC03 |
