CNMG160612-RM5 WSM10S indexable turning insert — Tiger·tec Silver for stainless steels and superalloys | Walter Tools

CNMG160612-RM5 WSM10S is an indexable turning insert designed for demanding turning of stainless steels and heat‑resistant superalloys in industrial production.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for improved wear resistance
• WSM10S grade for stainless steel and superalloys
• RM5 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• Rhombic 80° form with 1.2 mm corner radius

Reliable edge performance under thermal and mechanical stress

The WSM10S grade, as realised in the Tiger·tec Silver family, offers a coated carbide composition engineered for the specific challenges of stainless steels and superalloys. These materials generate heat, promote built‑up edge and place high demands on the cutting edge; the coating improves heat resistance and flank wear, which extends tool life and supports consistent surface quality. The result is a predictable machining process with fewer unplanned tool changes and a higher overall output per cutting edge.

Controlled chips and stable cutting for uninterrupted productivity

The RM5 chipbreaker is tuned for controllable chip formation when machining tough materials. Combined with the 1.2 mm corner radius, the geometry reduces the risk of edge chipping and distributes cutting forces more evenly across the insert, which is especially advantageous in interrupted cuts or heavy feeds. This combination enhances process security and reduces the frequency of tool inspections, supporting leaner production cycles and improved machining efficiency.

Geometry designed for versatility and clamping reliability

The Rhombic 80° shape provides a balanced approach between access to workpiece features and strong cutting edge support. The insert’s designation indicates the CNMG geometry with the RM5 chip control and the WSM10S grade—an arrangement that suits both continuous and mixed turning tasks. The negative 0° relief (as specified) offers a robust cutting edge for tougher engagement conditions, while the insert size supports a wide range of toolholder systems for straightforward integration into existing turning cells.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for machining stainless steels?
The CNMG160612-RM5 WSM10S insert in Walter Tools' Tiger·tec Silver range is specified for stainless steels and offers enhanced heat and wear resistance for such applications.

What advantage does the RM5 chipbreaker provide?
The RM5 chipbreaker on the CNMG160612-RM5 WSM10S promotes controlled chip formation and reduces the likelihood of entangling or long stringy chips when machining tough materials.

How does the 1.2 mm corner radius affect performance?
A 1.2 mm corner radius increases edge strength and distributes cutting stresses, which improves wear behaviour and tolerance to interrupted cuts for the CNMG160612-RM5 WSM10S insert.

Can the insert be used for heat‑resistant superalloys and titanium?
Yes, the WSM10S grade and Tiger·tec Silver coating are designed to handle heat‑resistant superalloys and titanium, offering improved edge stability under thermal load.

What is the significance of the Rhombic 80° shape and negative 0° relief?
The Rhombic 80° geometry gives versatile access and stable edge support, while the negative 0° relief enhances edge robustness for demanding engagement conditions with the CNMG160612-RM5 WSM10S.
