SDMT09T316-F57 WKP35G milling indexable insert — square 90°, 1.6 mm corner radius (Walter Tools)

The SDMT09T316-F57 WKP35G is a square 90° milling insert with a 1.6 mm corner radius and a 15° relief angle, designed for productive machining of steel and cast iron.

• Tiger‑tec Gold coating for long life
• WKP35G grade for steel & cast iron
• 15° clearance for robust engagement
• Square 90° with 1.6 mm corner radius

Consistent performance from advanced coating technology

The application of Tiger‑tec Gold delivers a durable, multi‑layer coating that reduces abrasive wear and extends tool life under the thermal and mechanical loads typical of steel machining. This technology is particularly effective where high process reliability is required: the coating's thermal stability and wear resistance translate into fewer tool changes and steadier component quality. The combination of the coating with the WKP35G grade provides balanced toughness and hardness, so that the insert resists chipping while maintaining cutting-edge integrity.

Geometry that improves chip control and surface quality

A square 90° insert form and the specified 1.6 mm corner radius create a robust cutting edge, distributing cutting forces to reduce edge fracture risk in interrupted or variable cuts. The built‑in F57 chipbreaker and the insert relief of 15° encourage controlled chip formation and evacuation, which lowers the chance of recutting and improves surface finish. For operators moving from general‑purpose inserts, this geometry means fewer rejects and more predictable feed and speed settings on the machine.

Clear material suitability and practical benefits

This insert is specified for material groups P and K (steel and cast iron) according to ISO classifications, meaning it is optimised for the heat generation and chip behaviour associated with these materials. In practical terms, the coated cemented carbide formulation and the WKP35G specification allow stable machining of both unalloyed and alloyed steels as well as abrasive cast iron grades. The technical design reduces downtime through longer tool life and delivers repeatable component tolerances for batch production.

Simple integration and economic productivity

The ISO designation and the standard square form make the insert straightforward to integrate into existing milling toolholders and machining cycles, enabling quick setup and predictable cycle times. The SDMT09T316‑F57 WKP35G balances durability and edge stability to achieve a favourable cost‑per‑part ratio in medium to high production environments. For production planners, the result is a measurable improvement in process stability and tooling efficiency without complex parameter changes.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The insert is designed for steel (P) and cast iron (K) applications; the WKP35G grade and Tiger‑tec Gold coating together are optimised for these material groups.

How does the corner radius affect performance?
A 1.6 mm corner radius increases edge strength and distributes cutting forces, which reduces the risk of chipping in interrupted cuts and improves surface finish consistency.

Is the chip control suitable for heavy milling?
Yes, the combination of the F57 chipbreaker and the insert geometry supports controlled chip formation during robust engagement, making it suitable for demanding milling operations.

Will this insert fit standard milling holders?
The insert follows the ISO designation SDMT09T316‑F57 WKP35G and the square 90° form, so it is compatible with toolholders designed for that ISO insert type.

What key advantage does the Tiger‑tec Gold series provide?
Tiger‑tec Gold contributes high wear resistance and thermal stability, which improves tool life and process reliability in repetitive production environments.
