I've seen aluminum killed steel used or cited by many in the metalshaping community as easily formable. I've used it in a seminar I took last year. AKDQ - aluminum killed drawing quality. I believe the astm code is ASTM A 1008 DS, type B. It's tough to find at most metal suppliers. Or if they even have it available they require you to order a whole pallet. Here's an article on it https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics...m-killed-steel

What I've ended up finding local to me and buying is ASTM A 1008 type A or type B which I guess is what people usually refer to just as cold rolled steel.
