BCMT090304R-K55 WSP45G — Fräswendeschneidplatte (milling indexable insert) with Tiger‑tec Gold, for Stahl / rostfreier Stahl / S, Walter Tools

BCMT090304R-K55 WSP45G is a Tiger‑tec Gold‑grade milling insert designed for versatile roughing and finishing across Stahl, rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant alloys

• Tiger‑tec Gold PVD coating
• Suitable for Stahl, rostfreier Stahl, S
• Parallelogram 75° geometry
• 0.4 mm corner radius for edge strength

Productivity across mixed materials with consistent performance

The Tiger‑tec Gold coating combined with the WSP45G grade delivers a balance between wear resistance and toughness that benefits mixed production runs. The insert is engineered for applications classified as P/M/S: P indicates suitability for Stahl (unalloyed and alloyed steels), M for rostfreier Stahl (stainless variants with high toughness), and S for heat‑resistant superalloys and titanium that demand thermal stability. This material versatility reduces tool changes and simplifies process planning, contributing directly to higher throughput and predictable cycle times.

Secure chip control and longer productive life

Aimed at rational efficiency, the K55 chipbreaker geometry promotes stable chip formation under varying cutting conditions, which reduces the risk of built‑up edge and irregular wear. Combined with the insert’s medium tolerance class M, this results in repeatable clamping and interchangeability in indexable toolholders. The net effect is fewer interruptions for tool inspection and replacement, improving overall equipment effectiveness and lowering unit machining costs in the medium to high‑volume shop.

Geometry engineered for reliable cutting and part quality

The Parallelogram 75° form and a relief angle of 7° create an advantageous cutting approach for a wide range of milling tasks, from face milling to shoulder operations. The 0.4 mm corner radius enhances edge strength for intermittent cuts while still allowing good surface finish capability when stepping over or finishing. These geometric choices translate into stable cutting forces, less vibration and a more consistent surface quality on machined components — essential where reproducibility matters.

Practical handling and application guidance for planners and operators

As an indexable insert, this component fits standard toolholders specified for BCMT geometry and supports quick indexing to restore cutting edges. The designation BCMT090304R‑K55 encompasses size, thickness and cutting edge form factors that match widely used clamping systems, simplifying tool inventory. For machining parameter recommendations and optimisation tailored to specific alloys or cycle requirements, Metav Werkzeuge provides consultancy and application data to integrate the insert into existing tool cycles efficiently.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The BCMT090304R‑K55 WSP45G insert is specified for P/M/S applications, meaning it is suitable for Stahl, rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys such as titanium.

How does the Tiger‑tec Gold coating help in milling?
The Tiger‑tec Gold coating on the WSP45G grade increases wear resistance while maintaining toughness, which leads to longer tool life and more consistent performance in mixed‑material milling.

Which chipbreaker is fitted and what is its benefit?
This insert features the K55 chipbreaker, designed to promote uniform chip formation and reduce the likelihood of built‑up edge, improving surface finish and tool life.

Is the geometry suitable for both roughing and finishing?
Yes; the Parallelogram 75° geometry with a 0.4 mm corner radius offers a compromise between edge strength for roughing and the capability to achieve good surface quality during finishing.
