VT machining specialises in CNC Gear Grinding 1117 Steel. Because 1117 Steel is strong, economical and widely available, and its machinability is good to excellent depending on carbon content; free-machining grades cut cleanly, we plan each job around the grade to protect accuracy and surface quality.
CNC Gear Grinding Capability for 1117 Steel
- Carbon/low-alloy grades
- Economical & weldable
- Tolerance to ±0.02 mm
- Hardenable by heat treat
Machining 1117 Steel with CNC Gear Grinding
When gear cutting 1117 Steel, machinability is good to excellent depending on carbon content; free-machining grades cut cleanly. Our process plan reflects this so the finished part holds its tolerances without distortion or poor finish.
Documented parameters for 1117 Steel mean predictable cycle times and stable, repeatable results.
Design Tips for CNC Gear Grinding 1117 Steel
Small design adjustments often cut cost and lead time. Providing complete gear data (module, pressure angle, profile shift, quality class) lets us produce 1117 Steel gears right the first time. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Most 1117 Steel parts need some finishing, which we manage in-house or through vetted partners. Options include deburring and edge-breaking, heat treatment, surface grinding, polishing, and plating or anodising for corrosion resistance and appearance. Give us the finished-part requirement and we will sequence every operation correctly.
CNC Gear Grinding Tolerances & Surface Finish
Gear features are produced to a specified DIN/AGMA accuracy class, with profile and lead controlled for quiet, durable running under load.
Exact achievable figures depend on the alloy, the feature size and the part geometry. Tell us which dimensions are critical and we will advise feasibility up front.
Why 1117 Steel?
Customers select 1117 Steel for CNC Gear Grinding because it is strong, economical and widely available. We handle grade verification and any required heat treatment or finishing.
CNC Gear Grinding Quality & Inspection
Quality is built in, not inspected on. We monitor key features during the run and confirm them at final inspection, with CMM verification available for tight tolerances. We provide the inspection and traceability records your quality system requires.
Applications of CNC Gear Grinding 1117 Steel
1117 Steel parts made this way are found throughout aerospace, medical, automotive, electronics and industrial equipment. Prototype, bridge and production volumes are all welcome.
