Product Description

Low carbon steel coil, also known as mild steel coil, is one of the most widely used steel products in the world. With a carbon content typically below 0.25%, it strikes an ideal balance between strength, ductility and cost-effectiveness, making it the preferred choice for a broad range of manufacturing and construction applications.

At JGT Group, we produce low carbon steel coil through both hot rolling and cold rolling processes, with a complete range of thicknesses from 0.15mm to 6.0mm (cold rolled) and 1.2mm to 25mm (hot rolled), and widths from 600mm to 2000mm. Our coils are manufactured in accordance with international standards including GB/T 700, ASTM A36/A1008, EN 10025, JIS G3141 and DIN 1623, and are available in grades such as Q195, Q235, SPCC, DC01, DC03, SAE1006 and SAE1008.

Each coil undergoes rigorous inspection covering chemical composition, mechanical properties, surface quality and dimensional accuracy. We offer a variety of surface treatments including bare, pickled & oiled, galvanized and coated finishes to meet specific customer requirements.

With an annual output of 200,000 tons, JGT Group is a trusted low carbon steel coil manufacturer and supplier for customers in more than 100 countries. We support customized dimensions, slitting and packaging solutions, ensuring every shipment meets your exact specification.

Main Features

1. Excellent Weldability

With a carbon content of less than 0.25%, low carbon steel coil offers superior weldability compared to medium and high carbon steels. It can be welded using conventional techniques such as MIG, TIG and resistance welding without pre-heating or post-weld heat treatment, significantly improving production efficiency and reducing manufacturing costs for downstream processors.

2. Superior Formability & Ductility

Low carbon steel coil exhibits outstanding ductility and formability, allowing deep drawing, bending, stamping and cold forming without cracking. Grades such as SPCC, DC01 and SAE1008 are specially designed for severe forming operations, making our coils ideal for automotive body parts, home appliance panels and precision components.

3. Consistent Dimensional Accuracy

Every coil is produced with precise control of thickness, width and flatness. Our advanced rolling mills and online gauge control systems ensure uniform strip thickness across the entire coil length, minimizing material waste and guaranteeing stable performance in automated production lines.

4. Rigorous Quality Assurance

Each low carbon steel coil is inspected for chemical composition, mechanical properties, surface condition and edge quality before shipment. Mill test certificates covering all test data are provided with every order, giving you complete traceability and confidence in material quality.

5. Wide Range of Customization

We offer coils in thicknesses from 0.15mm to 25mm and widths from 600mm to 2000mm, with options for hot-rolled, cold-rolled, pickled & oiled and coated surfaces. Customized dimensions, slitting, edge trimming and specialized packaging are available to match your exact production requirements.

6. Factory-Direct Competitive Pricing

As a low carbon steel coil manufacturer, JGT Group supplies directly from our factory in Tianjin, China, eliminating middlemen and offering highly competitive low carbon steel coil prices without compromising quality. Our stable production capacity of 200,000 tons per year ensures reliable, on-time delivery for large-scale and long-term projects.

Applications

Low carbon steel coil is a versatile material widely used across industries:

🏗 Construction

Structural framing, roof sheets, purlins, floor decking and rebar products — cost-effective strength and durability for residential, commercial and industrial buildings.

🚗 Automotive

Cold rolled low carbon steel coil is a key raw material for body panels, chassis components, rims and structural parts, offering excellent formability for high-speed stamping production.

🏠 Home Appliances

SPCC and DC01 grade coils are widely applied in refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners and microwave ovens, where surface quality and formability are critical.

🔧 Pipes & Tubes

The primary substrate for ERW pipes, galvanized pipes and square/rectangular tubes used in water supply, gas transmission, scaffolding and furniture manufacturing.

⚙️ Machinery & Equipment

Machine frames, storage racks, agricultural equipment and general mechanical parts that require good strength and weldability.

📦 Other Applications

Metal packaging, storage tanks, furniture, lighting poles, guardrails and metal crafts. Our engineering team can recommend the most suitable grade for your project.

FAQ 

Q1. What is low carbon steel coil?

Low carbon steel coil is a steel product with a carbon content typically below 0.25%. It is available in hot-rolled and cold-rolled forms and is known for excellent weldability, formability and ductility. Common grades include Q195, Q235, SPCC, DC01 and SAE1008.

Q2. What is the difference between hot rolled and cold rolled low carbon steel coil?

Hot rolled coil is produced at high temperatures, offering larger thicknesses (1.2mm–25mm) and a scaled surface, typically used for structural applications. Cold rolled coil is processed at room temperature, providing tighter tolerances, a smoother surface and thinner gauges (0.15mm–6mm), ideal for visible and precision parts.

Q3. What grades and standards do you supply?

We supply grades including Q195, Q235, SPCC, DC01, DC03, SAE1006 and SAE1008, manufactured according to GB/T 700, ASTM A1008, EN 10130, JIS G3141 and DIN 1623 standards. Equivalent grades can be supplied upon request.

Q4. What is your MOQ and delivery time?

Our MOQ is one 20' container (about 25 tons), and trial orders are accepted for samples. Standard production lead time is 7–15 days after deposit, depending on specification and quantity. We ship from Tianjin Port, China, and can arrange FOB, CIF, CFR and DDP terms.

Q5. Can you provide customized sizes and processing?

Yes. We offer slitting, cut-to-length, edge trimming, pickling & oiling and custom packaging. You can specify thickness, width, inner diameter and coil weight according to your production needs.

Q6. Do you provide quality certificates?

Every order includes a Mill Test Certificate covering chemical composition and mechanical properties. Third-party inspection such as SGS, BV and TUV is available upon request.

Q7. What is the price difference between hot rolled and cold rolled coils?

Cold rolled coil is generally more expensive than hot rolled coil due to additional processing steps, tighter tolerances and better surface finish. The final price depends on grade, thickness, quantity and raw material market conditions. Contact us for the latest low carbon steel coil price quotation.
