SDHX1204AZR-A88 WAK15 — Milling indexable insert for aluminium and non‑ferrous metals, Walter Tools

The SDHX1204AZR-A88 WAK15 is a square indexable insert designed for high‑performance face and shoulder milling of aluminium and other non‑ferrous metals within the Walter N‑series system

• Optimised for aluminium and non‑ferrous metals
• Uncoated carbide WAK15 for sharp cutting edges
• Square 90° form with 15° relief
• A88 chipbreaker for reliable chip control

Consistent, burr‑free finishes for non‑ferrous work

The grade WAK15 is an uncoated carbide designed for machining aluminium and similar non‑ferrous alloys; this material choice provides a very sharp cutting edge and reduces the tendency for built‑up edge formation. The A88 chipbreaker promotes controlled fragmentation and evacuation of chips, which directly improves surface quality and reduces secondary finishing. For operations where material adhesion and thermal build‑up are the primary concerns, this insert delivers measurable process stability and repeatable results.

Stable cutting geometry for repeatable tool life

A 90° square form combined with a 15° relief produces a robust cutting corner that tolerates intermittent engagement and shoulder milling. The geometry minimises rubbing behind the cutting edge and helps to maintain a consistent radial and axial load distribution, which supports repeatable tool life and predictable wear. The insert’s execution code and tolerance class indicate suitability for standard toolholders in the Walter N‑series, enabling straightforward insertion and secure clamping for demanding production cycles.

Easy integration into production and clear material guidance

Belonging to the Walter N‑series, the insert supports fast tool changes and indexable use, making it suitable for batch production or flexible cell environments. The material designation N and the ISO guidance refer explicitly to non‑ferrous workpieces (see ISO 513), so the component is recommended for aluminium, copper alloys and similar substrates where sharp geometry and low friction are priorities. For cutting parameters, cooling strategies and optimisation of feed rates, Metav Werkzeuge can supply application data and recommend compatible toolholders to integrate the insert into existing processes.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The SDHX1204AZR-A88 WAK15 insert is intended for aluminium and other non‑ferrous metals as specified by the N designation and ISO 513, offering reduced built‑up edge and good surface quality.

Is the cutting grade coated?
No, the WAK15 grade is an uncoated carbide designed to provide very sharp cutting edges for soft, adhesive materials; this is why it is recommended for aluminium machining.

What does the A88 chipbreaker do?
The A88 chipbreaker controls chip shape and evacuation, reducing the risk of entanglement and improving surface finish during continuous and interrupted milling with the insert.
