CNMG160616‑RM5 WSM20S indexable turning insert — Walter Tools, Tiger‑tec Silver, for stainless steels and superalloys

CNMG160616‑RM5 WSM20S is a rhombic‑80° indexable insert designed for heavy, heat‑resistant materials and stainless steels, combining a robust geometry with Tiger‑tec Silver coating for productive turning.

• Tiger‑tec Silver coated grade WSM20S
• Optimised RM5 chipbreaker for stable chips
• Suitable for stainless steels and superalloys
• Rhombus 80° form with 1.6 mm edge radius

Higher process reliability through coating and grade choice

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Silver coating and the WSM20S cemented‑carbide grade is engineered for demanding turning operations on stainless steels and superalloys. Coating technology reduces heat at the cutting zone and stabilises the cutting edge, which results in improved tool life and consistent surface quality under thermal load. The RM5 chipbreaker is configured to control chip shape and evacuation, which lowers the risk of built‑up edge and supports uninterrupted material removal in serial production.

Geometry tuned for robust cutting and predictable results

A rhombic 80° insert form with negative rake 0° and a 1.6 mm corner radius delivers a balance between cutting‑edge strength and controlled cutting action. The geometry is suited to interrupted cuts and applications where edge toughness is key; the negative rake supports a durable cutting edge while the defined corner radius helps maintain dimensional stability. These design choices translate into fewer tool changes and more consistent cycle times in workshop environments where repeatability matters.

Practical selection and machining guidance for reliable integration

This insert is intended for use in conventional insert toolholders for turning; when combined with correct feeds and speeds, the RM5 chipbreaker helps to produce short, manageable chips and predictable tool wear. For the machining of heat‑resistant alloys and titanium, the grade’s heat resistance and edge stability reduce the likelihood of premature flank wear. Selection of coolant strategy and cutting parameters influences the outcome significantly; cutting data adjustments are recommended based on workpiece condition and machine rigidity.

FAQ

What materials is this insert designed to machine?
The CNMG160616‑RM5 WSM20S insert is developed for stainless steels and heat‑resistant superalloys (M and S material groups), providing edge stability under high thermal stress.

How does the Tiger‑tec Silver coating improve performance?
The Tiger‑tec Silver coating reduces thermal load at the cutting edge and enhances wear resistance, which contributes to longer tool life and more consistent machining results with the CNMG160616‑RM5 insert.

Which chipbreaker should be expected and what does it offer?
The insert features the RM5 chipbreaker, which is tuned for stable chip formation and reliable evacuation, reducing the risk of built‑up edge in demanding turning operations.

Is the insert suitable for interrupted cuts or heavy roughing?
Yes; the rhombus 80° geometry with negative rake 0° and a 1.6 mm corner radius provides a robust cutting edge appropriate for interrupted cuts and heavier material removal.

Can this insert be used on titanium alloys?
Depending on the specific geometry and machining strategy, the WSM20S grade can be applied to titanium and similar challenging materials, benefiting from the grade’s thermal stability.
