VT machining specialises in CNC Wire EDM 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 Wire EDM Capability for 1117 Steel
- Carbon/low-alloy grades
- Economical & weldable
- Tolerance to ±0.02 mm
- Hardenable by heat treat
Machining 1117 Steel with CNC Wire EDM
The machinability of 1117 Steel is good to excellent depending on carbon content; free-machining grades cut cleanly. For CNC Wire EDM we select tooling, feeds, speeds and coolant to match, keeping the 1117 Steel workpiece stable and the result accurate.
Because we machine 1117 Steel regularly, proven settings shorten setup and keep quality repeatable across reorders.
CNC Wire EDM Quality & Inspection
Consistent quality comes from disciplined process control. Critical dimensions on 1117 Steel parts are checked in-process and verified at final inspection using calibrated instruments and, where required, CMM measurement. Full documentation — dimensional reports, mill certs, FAIR — is available when your programme needs it.
CNC Wire EDM Tolerances & Surface Finish
EDM holds tolerances to roughly ±0.002–0.005 mm with no cutting force on the 1117 Steel part, producing fine, controlled surface textures and sharp internal corners impossible to mill.
The tightest tolerances are reserved for the features your drawing flags as critical. Share your tolerance scheme and we will confirm what is realistic before quoting.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
We complete 1117 Steel components with the secondary steps your drawing calls for. We arrange heat treatment, surface treatment, marking and assembly as needed. Tell us the final spec and we will plan the full route so parts arrive ready to use.
Why 1117 Steel?
Specifying 1117 Steel for CNC Wire EDM 1117 Steel is usually about its properties: strong, economical and widely available. Tell us the condition you need and we machine to it.
Design Tips for CNC Wire EDM 1117 Steel
A few design choices make a real difference to cost and quality. EDM suits sharp internal corners, thin ribs and hardened 1117 Steel that cannot be milled; allowing a small corner radius where possible speeds the cut. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Applications of CNC Wire EDM 1117 Steel

What surface finish is achievable on 1117 Steel with CNC Wire EDM?
Surface finish on 1117 Steel is controlled to your specification; we confirm the achievable Ra against your callout.
Can you EDM-machine hardened 1117 Steel?
Yes. EDM removes material by electrical discharge rather than cutting force, so hardened and difficult 1117 Steel can be machined to fine detail and tight tolerance without distortion.
Does CNC Wire EDM 1117 Steel require dedicated tooling?
Wire EDM needs no shaped tooling; sinker EDM uses a shaped electrode we produce in-house for your cavity.
Why is 1117 Steel a good choice for CNC Wire EDM?
1117 Steel is strong, economical and widely available, which makes it well suited to CNC Wire EDM. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished 1117 Steel EDM machining part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Wire EDM 1117 Steel?
CNC Wire EDM 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.
Which industries use CNC Wire EDM 1117 Steel parts?
CNC Wire EDM 1117 Steel parts are used across aerospace, medical, automotive, electronics, semiconductor and general industrial sectors — anywhere precise 1117 Steel components are required.
