CCMT060204-FW4 WSM20S indexable turning insert — Tiger·tec Silver for stainless steels and superalloys | Walter Tools

CCMT060204-FW4 WSM20S is an indexable turning insert designed for reliable machining of heat-resistant superalloys and rostfreie Stähle in demanding turning operations.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for heat resistance
• WSM20S grade for stainless steels and superalloys
• FW4 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• 7° relief and 0.4 mm nose radius for repeatable precision

High-performance grade for demanding materials

The combination of Tiger·tec Silver coating and the WSM20S carbide grade delivers a balance of thermal resistance and edge stability that is geared towards rostfreie Stähle and heat-resistant superalloys. This behaviour reduces the tendency for built-up edge and supports higher cutting parameters compared with uncoated grades. For production environments where cutting-edge robustness and predictable wear are key, the coated substrate enables more stable cycles and fewer unscheduled tool changes, improving overall throughput.

Consistent chip control and surface quality

The insert’s FW4 chipbreaker is engineered for reliable chip control, producing short, consistent chips that clear the cutting zone and reduce rework. Combined with the 7° relief and a 0.4 mm nose radius, the geometry promotes a controlled contact zone and stable cutting forces, so surface finish and dimensional repeatability are improved. For operators new to superalloys or rostfreie Stähle, this geometry simplifies parameter tuning by offering a forgiving window for feed and speed adjustments.

Productivity through edge life and process security

As an indexable solution, the insert supports rapid corner indexing and cost-efficient use of carbide grades, translating into lower tool-change times and predictable replacement intervals. The coated carbide construction contributes to a stable cutting edge with prolonged life on challenging batches, which in turn reduces machine downtime and variability between workpieces. For manufacturing lines processing mixed lots of rostfreie Stähle and high-temperature alloys, this insert promotes consistent output and fewer interruptions.

Practical compatibility and selection guidance

The item is supplied in the CCMT specification with a rhombic 80° form and thickness 02, making it compatible with standard tooling systems accepting the CCMT format. The combination of rhombus 80° seating and the specified geometry supports a wide range of turning operations, from medium to heavy cuts in demanding materials. When selecting an insert, match the holder geometry and clamping type to the CCMT form to ensure correct seating and reliable coolant access; Metav Werkzeuge can assist with matching holders and recommended cutting parameters.
