Kaltgewalztes Flachzeug aus unlegierten weichen Stählen — Nach DIN 1623 Blatt 1

Cold-Rolled Flat Products of Plain Carbon Mild Steel According to DIN 1623 Sheet 1 . Cold-rolled flat products of plain carbon mild steel and among the most important finished products made by iron and steel works and rolling mills as well as being among the most important semi-products for industrial manufacture. Metallurgical and rolling developments during the course of the last twenty years have resulted in considerable improvements in the main cold forming properties of sheet and strip. The chief demand made of manufacturers of cold-rolled flat products is for sheet and strip which has been fully annealed and rerolled for good cold formability. Because of the various stresses on materials in the different forming processes, it is difficult to make a reliable prediction from test results about the behaviour of the material during actual forming operations. The new edition of sheet 1 of DIN 1623 prescribes the conventional test methods and their results as regards ensuring cold formability. The Standard does not include the additional means of using numerical values for vertical anisotropy r, work hardening exponent n and the maximum drawing ratio (ßo)_max.
