TCGT090202-FM2 WSM20S – Triangle 60° turning insert with Tiger·tec Silver coating by Walter Tools

TCGT090202-FM2 WSM20S is a triangular indexable turning insert designed for demanding applications in rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant alloys

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for edge stability
• Grade WSM20S for rostfreier Stahl and superalloys
• 7° clearance angle for secure cutting action
• 0.2 mm corner radius for controlled surface finish

Consistent performance on challenging materials

The Tiger·tec Silver technology combined with the WSM20S cemented carbide class provides enhanced wear resistance and reliable edge retention when machining rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys. This composition supports a controlled chip formation process, reducing the risk of built‑up edge and thermal damage during interrupted cuts. For production environments where process stability matters, the insert’s coating and grade help maintain cutting performance over longer cycles, which contributes to fewer tool changes and improved throughput. The design is intended for operators seeking reproducible results on difficult‑to‑machine materials without complex parameter adjustments.

Geometry engineered for finishing and repeatability

The triangular 60° plate form and 0.2 mm corner radius combine to offer a balance between durability and surface quality. A smaller corner radius reduces cutting forces and aids in achieving fine surface finishes, while the triangle shape provides three indexed cutting edges per insert for economical use. The FM2 chipbreaker supports consistent chip control across a range of feeds, and the 7° clearance (free) angle minimises rubbing on the flank face, reducing heat transfer into the cutting edge. These geometric traits make the insert suitable for light to medium finishing passes where edge stability and dimensional repeatability are priorities.

Productivity benefits and process security in practice

Integrating this insert into a production line contributes to predictable tool life and lower variability between components, thanks to the coated carbide grade and robust edge design. The combination of Tiger·tec Silver treatment and the WSM20S sort reduces flank wear and improves cutting edge robustness, supporting longer uninterrupted machining sequences. For shops focused on delivering consistent part quality, the insert’s attributes translate into fewer re‑setups and steady cycle times. If clarification on compatibility with specific machine types or cutting parameters is required, technical consultants at Metav Werkzeuge can provide tailored recommendations based on the machining task.
