SCGT09T304-FM2 WSM20S — Indexable turning insert, Tiger·tec Silver, for stainless steel and superalloys | Walter Tools

The SCGT09T304-FM2 WSM20S is a square 90° indexable turning insert designed for stable cutting in stainless steels and heat‑resistant superalloys, combining a Tiger·tec Silver coated grade with an FM2 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation.

• Tiger·tec Silver coated carbide grade WSM20S
• Designed for stainless steel and superalloys
• Square 90° form with 0.4 mm corner radius
• FM2 chipbreaker and 7° clearance angle

Consistent cutting performance with a premium coated grade

The combination of the Tiger·tec Silver coating and the WSM20S carbide grade delivers improved heat resistance and a robust cutting edge that supports stable chip formation when tackling difficult‑to‑cut materials. This engineered coating reduces thermal and chemical wear at the cutting zone, which translates into consistent tool life and predictable results in medium to high‑volume production. The specification is optimised for materials that tend to work‑harden or form built‑up edge, so the cutting grade prioritises edge security and repeatable performance.

Geometry that strengthens the edge and simplifies tool handling

The square 90° form with a 0.4 mm corner radius and a thickness class of T3 provides a balance between strength and versatility. A larger corner radius increases edge resilience under interrupted cuts, while the square geometry allows straightforward indexing for multiple edges, reducing downtime. The 7° clearance angle helps to reduce rubbing and heat transfer into the flank face, supporting more stable surface finishes without sacrificing edge life. These geometric choices are particularly advantageous where repeatability and component quality matter most.

Controlled chip flow for safer machining and improved surface finish

The FM2 chipbreaker is designed to manage chips in challenging materials, promoting short, controllable fragments and reducing the risk of entanglement or damage to the workpiece. By encouraging consistent chip evacuation and limiting the tendency for built‑up edge on the cutting face, the chipbreaker supports higher productive feeds and steadier cut conditions. For operations where surface integrity and process reliability are priorities, the engineered chip control reduces rejects and eases downstream inspection.

Industrial reliability for series production

Specified to tolerance class G, this indexable turning insert is suitable for production environments that require predictable interchangeability and minimal variation between edges. The coated grade and shape are selected to deliver stable cutting behaviour across batches, making the insert a practical choice for job shops and OEM machining lines working with stainless steels and superalloys. Backed by the Walter Tools portfolio, the component is intended to integrate into established tooling systems where consistent performance and longer tool life contribute directly to process economy.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert suitable for?
The SCGT09T304-FM2 WSM20S is suitable for stainless steels (M) and heat‑resistant superalloys (S), following the intended ISO 513 group assignments for the grade.

What benefit does the Tiger·tec Silver coating provide?
Tiger·tec Silver improves thermal resistance and reduces abrasive and chemical wear, helping the WSM20S grade to maintain a stable cutting edge and extend tool life in demanding materials.

How does the FM2 chipbreaker affect machining?
The FM2 chipbreaker promotes controlled, short chips and consistent evacuation, which reduces built‑up edge risk and supports improved surface finishes when turning stainless steel and superalloys.

What does a 0.4 mm corner radius and square form mean for operation?
A 0.4 mm corner radius increases edge robustness for interrupted or heavy cuts, while the square 90° form offers multiple usable cutting edges and simple indexing for repeatable setups.

Is this insert appropriate for finishing stainless steel components?
Depending on the holder geometry and cutting parameters, the SCGT09T304-FM2 WSM20S can be used for finishing operations in stainless steel, offering improved surface quality due to controlled chip formation and edge stability.
