Increase process reliability when machining rostfreier Stahl

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WMP20G carbide grade is engineered to control heat and wear during continuous turning operations of rostfreier Stahl. The coated hardmetal composition is designed to reduce flank wear and support stable edge integrity under the higher temperatures and work-hardening tendencies of stainless materials. This results in more predictable tool life and fewer unplanned tool changes, which supports higher uptime in production environments. The FM4 chipbreaker contributes to consistent chip geometry, which aids automatic conveyor and coolant efficiency while reducing the risk of built-up edge.

Precise geometry for repeatable surface quality and edge security

The insert’s square 90° form and 0.4 mm corner radius deliver a reliable compromise between strength and finish: the small corner radius supports fine turning and dimensional control, while the square shape offers four usable cutting edges for economical indexing. The relief angle of 7° reduces rubbing on the flank and helps maintain a clean cutting action. Size and thickness are coded for standard toolholders (size 06, thickness 02), enabling straightforward integration into existing tool assemblies. Together, these geometric parameters are selected to balance cutting forces and surface integrity, making the insert suitable where repeatable part quality is essential.

Application benefits: productivity, repeatability and low risk

The FM4 chipbreaker, paired with the coating and grade characteristics, is aimed at optimising chip flow and minimising interruptions from entangling or long chips in rostfreier Stahl turning tasks. In practice, this means fewer stoppages for chip clearance and a reduced tendency for scratch marks caused by errant chips. The insert has been developed for production and job-shop contexts where process security and reproducible results are priorities. As part of Walter Tools’ portfolio, the design supports predictable tool life and simplified grade selection when switching between similar stainless workpieces.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The SCMT060204-FM4 WMP20G insert is intended primarily for rostfreier Stahl (ISO M), with the grade and chipbreaker tuned for the toughness and heat characteristics of those alloys.

How does the FM4 chipbreaker affect machining?
The FM4 chipbreaker on the SCMT060204-FM4 WMP20G promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation, which reduces interruptions and supports consistent surface finish when turning rostfreier Stahl.

What are the key geometric advantages of the square form?
A square 90° form provides four indexing positions per insert, improving economy, while the 0.4 mm corner radius balances edge strength and surface precision for repeatable part quality.

Is the insert compatible with standard toolholders?
The insert uses standard coding (size 06, thickness 02) and is compatible with conventional toolholders designed for SCMT-style inserts; toolholder geometry should be checked for correct seat and clearance.
