VT machining offers CNC Plasma Cutting for 1117 Steel (UNS G11170), typically supplied cold-drawn. Resulfurised carburising steel; machines faster than 1018.
CNC Plasma Cutting Notes for 1117 Steel
Plasma is a fast, economical option for thicker 1117 Steel plate where edge finish is less critical.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of 1117 Steel weighs about 0.79 kg.

Request a QuoteFrequently Asked Questions
What material thickness or size range suits CNC Plasma Cutting 1117 Steel?
Laser-cut 1117 Steel thickness depends on the alloy and its reflectivity; we tune the fiber source and assist gas accordingly.
What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Plasma Cutting 1117 Steel?
CNC Plasma Cutting prototypes for 1117 Steel can be produced quickly and scaled to series production. Send your drawing and quantity and we will advise lead time and any minimum order.
How clean are the edges produced by CNC Plasma Cutting on 1117 Steel?
Laser cutting leaves 1117 Steel with a narrow kerf and a clean, near burr-free edge and only a small heat-affected zone.
What surface finish is achievable on 1117 Steel with CNC Plasma Cutting?
Laser cutting leaves a clean cut face on 1117 Steel with a small heat-affected zone; most parts need little secondary finishing.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Plasma Cutting 1117 Steel?
Achievable tolerances for 1117 Steel cutting depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. Laser cutting holds contour tolerances to around ±0.05 mm depending on thickness. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
Can VT machining make custom 1117 Steel parts to my drawing?
Yes. 1117 Steel cutting is made to order from your CAD/2D drawing. Share your geometry, material grade, tolerance and quantity and we will confirm feasibility, lead time and pricing.
