CNC Press Brake Forming 1117 Steel from VT machining delivers precision 1117 Steel parts made to your exact drawing. Press brake forming creates bends and complex profiles with CNC-controlled ram depth and gauging, with parameters tuned to 1117 Steel, which is strong, economical and widely available.
CNC Press Brake Forming Capability for 1117 Steel
- Carbon/low-alloy grades
- Economical & weldable
- Tolerance to ±0.02 mm
- Hardenable by heat treat
Machining 1117 Steel with CNC Press Brake Forming
When forming 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.
CNC Press Brake Forming 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.
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 Press Brake Forming because it is strong, economical and widely available. We handle grade verification and any required heat treatment or finishing.
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.
Design Tips for CNC Press Brake Forming 1117 Steel
Small design adjustments often cut cost and lead time. 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.
CNC Press Brake Forming 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 Press Brake Forming 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.
