CNMG160608-MM5 WSM10S Indexable turning insert – Walter Tools, Tiger·tec Silver, for stainless steel and superalloys

The CNMG160608-MM5 WSM10S is an 80° rhombic indexable insert optimised for stable machining of stainless steels (M) and heat-resistant superalloys/titanium (S) in demanding turning applications.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for edge stability
• Suitable for stainless steels and superalloys
• Rhombic 80° form with negative 0° rake
• 0.8 mm corner radius for controlled chip formation

Longer tool life through optimised coating technology

The high-performance Tiger·tec Silver system combined with the WSM10S grade provides a balance between thermal resistance and toughness, reducing flank wear under high temperatures. This coated carbide formulation is intended to maintain a stable cutting edge when machining demanding materials, which translates into fewer insert changes and more consistent component quality. The described coating technology supports productive machining cycles and helps to avoid premature edge breakdown in continuous operations.

Predictable chip control and improved surface finish

The MM5 chipbreaker together with a 0.8 mm corner radius and the negative 0° rake angle promotes secure chip formation on tough-to-machine materials. The geometry controls chip flow and minimises the risk of built-up edge, which is a common cause of poor surface finish on stainless steels and superalloys. As a result, the insert helps to deliver consistent component appearance and dimensional stability, reducing the need for secondary operations.

Robust geometry for versatile turning programmes

The rhombic 80° form with an insert size of 16 and thickness designation 06 provides a versatile platform compatible with standard CNMG toolholders. This configuration enables productive turning across different feed and depth-of-cut ranges while offering good access in internal and external turning setups. The insert’s tolerance class M and execution G ensure repeatable seating and clamping, supporting reliable tool change intervals and predictable process behaviour.

Application guidance for demanding materials and process stability

Designed for stainless steel (ISO group M) and heat-resistant alloys or titanium (ISO group S), the grade supports machining scenarios where heat management and edge stability are critical. The insert’s combination of geometry and coating assists in preventing thermal softening and supports stable chip evacuation under medium to heavy cut conditions. For specific cutting data and optimal toolholder recommendations, refer to Metav Werkzeuge’s process guidelines to match feeds, speeds and coolant strategy to the component material.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert suitable for?
The CNMG160608-MM5 WSM10S insert is specified for stainless steel (ISO group M) and for heat-resistant superalloys and titanium (ISO group S), where thermal resistance and edge stability are required.

What advantages does the Tiger·tec Silver coating provide?
The Tiger·tec Silver coating increases thermal resistance and wear protection while maintaining toughness, which helps the insert deliver longer life and consistent cutting-edge behaviour on demanding materials.

How does the MM5 chipbreaker affect turning performance?
The MM5 chipbreaker is designed to produce manageable chips and reduce the tendency for built-up edge, supporting improved surface finish and process stability when cutting stainless steels and superalloys.

Why choose a rhombic 80° CNMG geometry?
The rhombic 80° form offers a good compromise between strength and accessibility, enabling effective external and internal turning with reliable insert seating and repeatable results.

What is the benefit of the 0.8 mm corner radius?
A 0.8 mm corner radius provides robust edge support for interrupted cuts and higher feed rates while still enabling an acceptable surface finish on components made from tough-to-machine alloys.
