SNMM190616-HU5 WMP20G turning indexable insert — Tiger‑tec Gold coating, HU5 chipbreaker (Walter Tools)

A SNMM190616-HU5 WMP20G turning insert designed for dependable machining of rostfreier Stahl in medium to robust turning operations

• Tiger‑tec Gold coating for extended tool life
• HU5 chipbreaker for secure chip formation
• Square 90° geometry for versatile turning
• Optimised for rostfreier Stahl performance

Reliable performance and economy through advanced coating

The Tiger‑tec Gold coating coupled with the WMP20G carbide grade delivers high wear resistance and improved adhesion control under the thermal and mechanical loads typical of rostfreier Stahl machining. This makes the insert particularly suited to operations where cutting-edge stability and predictable tool life reduce downtime. The combination of a robust coating and the grade’s microstructure supports consistent edge integrity, allowing stable cutting parameters that benefit cycle-time planning and production costing.

Stable chip control and consistent surface quality

The HU5 chipbreaker is engineered to manage chips reliably during medium to heavy cuts. By promoting short, segmented chips the geometry reduces the risk of entanglement and supports a uniform material flow away from the cutting zone. For machining rostfreier Stahl—materials that tend to be tough and generate heat—the controlled chip formation helps maintain surface finish and prevents built-up edge, which in turn minimises rework and maintains tolerance adherence on turned components.

Geometry and design that enable productive turning

Square 90° format with a 1.6 corner radius and a 0° (negative) relief angle provides a stable cutting platform for transverse loads and interrupted cuts. The insert’s plate designation and thickness deliver repeatable seating in standard insert holders, while the square shape gives four usable cutting edges per indexable insert, improving cost-efficiency per edge. These geometrical characteristics translate into lower tool-change frequency and easier tool management on the shop floor, supporting continuous, predictable operation in batch and single-piece production.

Practical application advice and process security

The grade is targeted at rostfreie Stähle and is optimised for medium to robust cutting conditions; operators can expect good edge life where thermal stability and chip control are required. When integrating the insert, assess feed and speed with an emphasis on reducing built-up edge—moderate feeds with controlled coolant or air blast often yield the best combination of tool life and surface finish. For bespoke parameter sheets or trial support, technical consultation is recommended to match insert geometry to machine capacity and workpiece specifications.
