Steel 1137 Machined Parts
Cox Manufacturing has a reputation for machining quality parts from 1137 Steel. We can machine intricate parts on our CNC Swiss machines and CNC turning centers.
Steel alloy 1137 is a general purpose alloy, ideal for parts that require strength and machinability. It has good stress resistance. 1137 is considered resulphurized.
1137 has a machining cost factor of 2.7 when compared to steel 12L14. Welding is not ideal due to its high sulfur content. 1137 can be annealed, quenched, tempered, and heat treated.
Industries & Applications
- Gears
- Shafts
- Studs
- Bolts and nuts
