CNMM160616-HU5 WSM30S indexable turning insert — Tiger·tec Silver for rostfreier Stahl

The CNMM160616‑HU5 WSM30S is an indexable turning insert engineered for heavy and demanding turning of rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys, offering a negative rake and an optimised chipbreaker for stable machining.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for heat resistance
• HU5 chipbreaker for secure chip control
• Rhombic 80° shape for versatile turning
• Corner radius 1.6 mm for edge strength

Consistent performance for demanding materials

The combination of the WSM30S grade and Tiger·tec Silver coating is designed for applications where temperature and adhesion threaten tool life. The coated cemented carbide formulation improves heat resistance and reduces built‑up edge formation when machining rostfreier Stahl and superalloys. This results in more predictable wear behaviour, fewer interruptions for edge changes, and a higher ratio of productive cutting time — a clear rational advantage where process reliability and component quality are priorities.

Geometry and chip control that protect the tool and the workpiece

The negative relief angle of 0° (negative) together with the HU5 chipbreaker and the rhombic 80° form create a cutting geometry that promotes controlled chip formation and safe evacuation. The corner radius 1.6 mm increases the strength of the cutting edge under heavy loads and reduces the risk of chipping during interrupted cuts. For production environments handling difficult‑to‑machine alloys, these design choices translate into fewer tool indexing cycles and more stable surface finishes.

Productivity through repeatable results and simple process integration

With a tolerance class of M and the standardised CNMM form, this insert fits common toolholders and allows straightforward tool setup and repeatability across batches. The grade’s emphasis on thermal stability supports higher cutting parameters where appropriate, enabling better metal removal rates without sacrificing edge life. For engineers aiming to balance cycle time with component integrity, the insert offers a pragmatic path to improved throughput and consistent part quality.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The CNMM160616‑HU5 WSM30S indexable turning insert by Walter Tools (SKU CNMM160616‑HU5‑WSM30S‑WALTER) is formulated for rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys, providing thermal stability and controlled chip formation.

How does the HU5 chipbreaker improve machining?
The HU5 chipbreaker on this Walter Tools insert promotes short, segmented chips and safer evacuation, reducing the chance of entanglement and improving surface integrity during turning of demanding materials.

What is the benefit of the 1.6 mm corner radius?
A corner radius 1.6 mm increases edge robustness and distributes cutting forces more evenly, which helps to avoid premature chipping when machining interrupted cuts or hard‑to‑cut alloys.

Will this insert fit standard toolholders?
The CNMM geometry conforms to common holder standards for rhombic 80° inserts, enabling simple integration into existing turning setups and straightforward repeatable indexing.
