VT machining provides CNC Bending 1117 Steel for customers who need accurate, repeatable 1117 Steel components. The machinability of 1117 Steel is good to excellent depending on carbon content; free-machining grades cut cleanly, so we set the operation up specifically for this grade.
CNC Bending Capability for 1117 Steel
- Carbon/low-alloy grades
- Economical & weldable
- Tolerance to ±0.02 mm
- Hardenable by heat treat
Machining 1117 Steel with CNC Bending
1117 Steel behaves predictably under CNC Bending once parameters are dialled in: machinability is good to excellent depending on carbon content; free-machining grades cut cleanly, and we tune the operation accordingly.
We hold reference parameters for this grade, so repeat orders of 1117 Steel run consistently from one batch to the next.
Design Tips for CNC Bending 1117 Steel
We are happy to suggest design tweaks that improve manufacturability. Consistent bend radii, adequate flange lengths and grain-direction awareness reduce cracking and springback in formed 1117 Steel. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Why 1117 Steel?
1117 Steel is chosen when a part needs what this grade offers — it is strong, economical and widely available. We confirm the grade and any temper or heat-treat condition with you before machining.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Finished 1117 Steel parts can move straight into secondary operations under one roof. Typical add-ons are deburring, passivation, anodising, plating, blasting, polishing and laser marking. We coordinate the whole chain so you receive complete, inspection-ready parts.
CNC Bending Tolerances & Surface Finish
Formed 1117 Steel holds bend angles to about ±0.5° and consistent flange dimensions, with bend allowance compensated for the material and thickness.
Final tolerances are governed by the material's behaviour, wall thickness and overall stiffness. We give honest DFM feedback if a callout would be costly or better achieved another way.
CNC Bending Quality & Inspection
We control quality throughout the process, not just at the end. In-process checks plus final inspection — including CMM where specified — keep every 1117 Steel part to print. Inspection reports, material certificates and first-article documentation can be supplied on request.
Applications of CNC Bending 1117 Steel
Customers order CNC Bending 1117 Steel components for everything from instrumentation to structural and functional assemblies. Whether you need a single prototype or recurring production volume, the same process discipline applies.
