Thin sheets overview
Steel sheets are thin, flat-rolled products known for their versatility and excellent forming properties. They are widely used in various industries including automotive, mechanical engineering, construction and household appliances. These sheets are offered both cold and hot rolled and are available in different grades and formats.
1. Versatility and adaptability
Thin sheets come in a variety of thicknesses (0.5 to 2.99mm) and dimensions available, making them an ideal choice for numerous applications. Standard formats include dimensions such as 1000 × 2000 mm, 1250 × 2500 mm and 1500 × 3000 mm, but customized formats are also available upon request.
2. Strength and malleability
The thin sheets offer an excellent combination of strength and formability. Typical material grades such as DC01 and DX51D+Z-275-NA stand out with good formability, which makes them ideal for complex forming processes.
3. Corrosion resistance
Hot-dip galvanized thin sheets such as DX51D+Z-275-NA offer one appropriate to the application Anti-corrosion, which extends their service life and reduces maintenance costs. This property is particularly important in outdoor applications and humid environments.

FAQ – Thin sheets made of steel
1. What are thin sheets and what are they used for?
Thin sheets are thin, flat-rolled steel products available in a variety of thicknesses and dimensions. They are used in many industries, including automobile manufacturing, mechanical engineering, construction, and household appliance manufacturing. Thanks to her Strength, formability and corrosion resistance make them ideal for applications that require lightweight yet robust materials.
2. What material grades are available for thin sheets?
Thin sheets are offered in different material grades that offer specific properties for different applications. Commonly used grades are:
-
DC01 (W.-Nr. 1.0330): Cold rolled, electrolytically galvanized, according to EN 10152 and EN 10131.
-
DX51D+Z-275-NA (W.-Nr. 1.0917): Cold rolled/hot rolled, hot dip galvanized, to EN 10346 and EN 10143. These grades offer an excellent combination of strength and formability.
3. How are cold-rolled and hot-rolled thin sheets different?
Cold-rolled thin sheets are rolled at room temperature, giving them a smooth surface and precise dimensions. They are ideal for applications where high dimensional accuracy and an attractive surface are required. Hot-rolled thin sheets on the other hand, are rolled at higher temperatures and are usually thicker and less precise in dimensions. However, they are less expensive and are suitable for structural applications where surface area is less important.
4. What advantages do hot-dip galvanized sheets offer?
Hot-dip galvanized thin sheets, such as DX51D+Z-275-NA, offer one appropriate to the application Corrosion protection that extends the life of products and reduces maintenance costs. These sheets are particularly suitable for outdoor applications and humid environments where a certain one Corrosion resistance is crucial.
5. Can thin sheets be supplied in customer-specific dimensions?
Yes, in addition to the standard formats such as 1000 x 2000 mm, 1250 x 2500 mm and 1500 × 3000 mm, thin sheets can also be delivered in customer-specific dimensions. This enables flexible adaptation to specific project requirements and ensures optimal material utilization.
