Higher throughput through dedicated geometry and chip control

The insert delivers measurable productivity benefits thanks to the A88 chipbreaker and a cutting geometry tailored to aluminium. The combination of a sharp cutting edge and a low‑adhesion grade reduces material buildup and allows for sustained cutting engagement, which improves cycle times and reduces secondary operations. The uncoated WAK15 carbide grade is specified for high shear and minimal edge deterioration when machining soft, ductile materials, supporting stable cutting even in long runs.

Improved component quality with controlled shearing action

A square 90° form together with a 15° relief produces a clean shearing action that reduces burr formation and enhances the finished surface. This geometry supports predictable tool engagement and consistent part tolerances, which is particularly important for visible or mating surfaces. The insert’s design helps prevent built‑up edge on aluminium alloys, resulting in more consistent dimensional accuracy and a better surface finish with fewer secondary finishing steps required.

Consistent performance and easy spindle integration

Built to the Walter N‑Series standards, the insert meets a tight tolerance class H and a T3 thickness that together ensure repeatable seating and secure clamping in standard milling cutters. The robust format and execution code X support consistent indexability and long‑term repeatability across production batches, reducing tool change frequency and setup time. Uncoated carbide performs predictably in non‑ferrous applications and can be a simple, cost‑effective solution where anti‑adhesive coatings are not required.

Practical applications and machining advice for non‑ferrous alloys

The insert is suitable for aluminium, copper, brass and similar non‑ferrous alloys where sharp edges and reliable chip evacuation are priorities. For best results, combine the insert with appropriate coolant or air blast and select cutting parameters that favour high shear and moderate feed per tooth to avoid vibration. If specific cutting data is required for particular aluminium grades or workholding setups, technical consultation is available to adapt feeds and speeds to the machining centre and cutter diameter.

FAQ

What materials is this insert designed for?
The SDHX09T3AZR-A88 WAK15 insert is designed primarily for aluminium and other non‑ferrous metals; the WAK15 grade and A88 chipbreaker are optimised to reduce adhesion and improve chip control in these materials.

Is this an uncoated or coated grade?
This insert uses an uncoated carbide grade (WAK15), chosen for its sharp cutting characteristics and suitability for high‑shear non‑ferrous machining.

How does the A88 chipbreaker affect machining?
The A88 chipbreaker shapes chip formation to provide short, controllable chips that evacuate reliably, reducing the risk of recutting and improving machining stability on aluminium alloys.

Can the insert be used in standard milling cutters?
Yes, the square 90° form and T3 thickness conform to standard indexable insert geometries and seatings; tolerance class H supports consistent clamping and repeatable indexing.

Does this insert require specific coolant or cutting strategies?
For best performance on aluminium, a combination of effective chip evacuation—air blast or through‑tool coolant where applicable—and parameter tuning for high shear is recommended; Metav Werkzeuge can advise on exact feeds and speeds.
