DCMT070202-FM4 WSM10S – Turning insert, Tiger‑tec Silver coating, for stainless steels and superalloys | Walter Tools

A DCMT070202-FM4 WSM10S turning insert designed for heavy-duty machining of rostfreiem Stahl (stainless steels) and heat‑resistant superalloys, offering stable cutting edges and reliable chip control

• Tiger‑tec Silver wear‑resistant coating
• Optimised FM4 chipbreaker for controlled chips
• Suitable for stainless steels and superalloys
• Rhombic 55° form with 0.2 mm corner radius

Increased process stability through coating and grade

The DCMT070202-FM4 WSM10S is built on coated carbide technology from the Tiger‑tec Silver family, a design that prioritises thermal resistance and edge stability in continuous and interrupted cuts. The chemical and physical properties of this coating reduce adhesion and thermal degradation on high‑temperature materials, which leads to fewer edge failures and longer tool life. In practice, this means more predictable machining cycles and reduced downtime due to insert changes, improving overall plant throughput.

Precise geometry for repeatable surface quality

A rhombic 55° insert form combined with a 0.2 mm corner radius and an effective FM4 chipbreaker delivers stable cutting conditions and consistent surface finish in longitudinal and profile turning. The geometry promotes favourable chip formation and evacuation, lowering the risk of built‑up edge when machining tough alloys. The modest corner radius balances strength and finish, enabling conservative cutting parameters where component tolerances demand repeatability and good surface integrity.

Clearances and tolerances that support tight machining windows

The insert features a 7° clearance and a tolerance class M, which support accurate seating and repeatable positioning in standard toolholders. These characteristics help maintain consistent overhang and tool‑holder rigidity, reducing vibration and variances in part geometry. For operations where tight dimensional control is essential, the insert’s specifications support stable cut entry and exit behaviour, allowing for predictable process windows in small‑ and medium‑batch production.

Material range and application benefits explained

Designated for ISO groups M (stainless steels) and S (heat‑resistant superalloys and titanium), the grade WSM10S and the FM4 chipbreaker together address the specific challenges of these materials: poor heat conductivity and high strength at temperature. The result is improved chip control and prolonged edge life when machining components such as shafts, housings and high‑temperature fasteners. For workshops aiming to consolidate tool inventories, this insert offers a versatile solution across demanding workpiece families while maintaining cutting performance.

FAQ

What materials is this insert designed for?
The insert is suitable for ISO groups M and S; the WSM10S grade targets stainless steels and heat‑resistant superalloys/titanium for demanding turning tasks.

How does the FM4 chipbreaker help in practice?
The FM4 geometry promotes controlled chip segmentation and evacuation, improving surface quality and reducing the risk of built‑up edge when machining tough materials.

Can this insert be used for interrupted cuts?
Yes, the combination of Tiger‑tec Silver coating and robust edge geometry provides increased resistance to thermal and mechanical shock, making it appropriate for certain interrupted turning applications.

Which holder types are compatible with the rhombic 55° form?
Standard toolholders for DCMT‑style rhombic 55° inserts are compatible; the insert’s 7° clearance and tolerance class M support precise seating in conventional turning tool systems.
