AISI 1117

AISI 1117 is a low-carbon, free-machining steel classified under the ASTM A29/A108 standard

Descriptions

1. Chemical Composition

The typical chemical composition (weight percentage) is:

2. Mechanical Properties

Forging refines the grain structure, enhancing strength and durability. Typical mechanical properties for AISI 1117 forgings (annealed or normalized):

3. Key Advantages

Excellent machinability (ideal for CNC or automatic lathes).

Cost-effective for high-volume production.

Good surface finish post-machining.

4. Limitations

Poor weldability (sulfur causes hot cracking).

Lower ductility and impact resistance compared to non-sulfurized steels (e.g., AISI 1018).

Limited use in high-stress or corrosive environments.
