DCGT11T308-MN2 WSM01 turning insert – Tiger‑tec Silver, for stainless steels & superalloys (Walter Tools)

The DCGT11T308-MN2 WSM01 is a rhombic 55° coated carbide turning insert from the Tiger‑tec Silver series, engineered for demanding turning tasks in rostfreie and heat‑resistant alloys.

• Tiger‑tec Silver grade for high process security
• MN2 chipbreaker for reliable chip control
• 0.8 mm nose radius for reproducible part finishes
• Positive 7° relief angle for stable cutting edges

High‑performance grade for demanding materials

The Tiger‑tec Silver series with the WSM01 grade combines a wear‑resistant coated carbide base with a formulation tuned to the thermal and mechanical challenges of stainless steels and superalloys. This turning grade supports secure chip formation under high temperatures and reduced adhesion at the cutting edge, which lowers the risk of built‑up edge and extends productive tool life. The formulation is particularly suitable where heat resistance and edge stability are decisive for consistent component quality.

Geometry and chip control that stabilise machining

The combination of a rhombic 55° shape, MN2 chipbreaker and a 0.8 mm nose radius delivers precise contact conditions and controlled chip flow during turning. The moderate nose radius balances surface finish and edge strength for repeated, reliable cuts, while the chipbreaker geometry evacuates chips effectively in continuous and light interrupted cuts. The positive 7° relief angle reduces cutting forces and helps maintain a sharp edge, which is advantageous for long runs on challenging materials.

Practical benefits and selection guidance for production

The DCGT11T308-MN2 WSM01 insert is supplied in a T3 thickness and meets tolerance class G, ensuring compatibility with standard turning toolholders and predictable seating accuracy. For applications in rostfreie steels and nickel‑based alloys, this insert offers a pragmatic compromise between edge durability and surface integrity; selecting the correct cutting parameters (reduced feed for heavy alloy work and appropriate coolant strategies) will enhance tool life. The design supports productive turning with repeatable results and reduced rework.
