Product Details
EN 10346 DX54D+AS is a European-standard aluminized steel grade designed for extra deep drawing applications. The material combines a low-carbon steel substrate with an aluminum-silicon (AS) coating, offering excellent formability, heat resistance, and corrosion resistance. It is commonly used in automotive exhaust systems, heat shields, and complex stamped components.
Because aluminized steel is produced under different international standards, buyers often compare EN 10346 DX54D+AS with equivalent grades from ASTM and JIS standards.
Understanding EN 10346 DX54D+AS
| Designation | Meaning |
|---|---|
| DX | Cold-forming flat steel |
| 54 | Extra deep drawing quality |
| D | Drawing grade |
| +AS | Aluminum-Silicon coated |
DX54D+AS provides higher elongation and formability than DX51D+AS and DX52D+AS.
Comparison with Other International Standards
| Standard | Grade | Formability | Heat Resistance | Typical Application |
| EN 10346 | DX54D+AS | Excellent | Excellent | Deep-drawn exhaust parts |
| EN 10346 | DX52D+AS | Very Good | Excellent | General stamped parts |
| EN 10346 | DX51D+AS | Good | Excellent | Standard forming |
| ASTM A463 | Type 1 | Good | Excellent | Exhaust tubing and heat shields |
| JIS G3314 | SA1D | Very Good | Excellent | Drawing applications |
| JIS G3314 | SA1E | Excellent | Excellent | Deep drawing components |
DX54D+AS vs ASTM A463 Type 1
ASTM A463 is the most common aluminized steel specification in North America.
| Property | DX54D+AS | ASTM A463 Type 1 |
| Standard Region | Europe | North America |
| Coating Type | Aluminum-Silicon | Aluminum-Silicon |
| Formability | Excellent | Good |
| Deep Drawing Performance | Outstanding | Moderate |
| Heat Resistance | Excellent | Excellent |
| Automotive Exhaust Use | Excellent | Excellent |
The primary difference is that ASTM A463 focuses mainly on coating requirements, while EN 10346 classifies the steel according to forming performance and mechanical properties.
DX54D+AS vs JIS G3314 SA1E
SA1E is often considered one of the closest Japanese equivalents.
| Property | DX54D+AS | SA1E |
| Standard | EN 10346 | JIS G3314 |
| Formability | Excellent | Excellent |
| Elongation | Very High | Very High |
| Deep Drawing Capability | Excellent | Excellent |
| Heat Resistance | Excellent | Excellent |
Both grades are suitable for complex automotive and industrial components.
Comparison Within EN 10346 Grades
| Grade | Formability Level | Typical Use |
| DX51D+AS | Standard Forming | General fabrication |
| DX52D+AS | Drawing Quality | Moderate stamping |
| DX53D+AS | Deep Drawing | Complex forming |
| DX54D+AS | Extra Deep Drawing | Severe deformation parts |
As the grade number increases, formability and elongation generally improve.
