TCGW110204FS-1 WDN10 turning/boring indexable insert by Walter Tools — PCD grade for abrasive non‑ferrous materials

TCGW110204FS-1 WDN10 is a triangular indexable insert designed for turning and boring operations in abrasive, non‑iron workpieces; the insert combines a polycrystalline diamond grade with a compact geometry for consistent surface quality

• PCD grade WDN10 for abrasive non‑ferrous materials
• Triangular 60° insert for versatile orientations
• 7° relief angle for stable cutting
• 0.4 mm corner radius for smooth surface finish

High wear resistance for abrasive non‑ferrous machining

The insert features polycrystalline diamond (PCD) technology in the WDN10 grade, delivering exceptional wear resistance when machining abrasive non‑ferrous materials such as aluminium alloys with abrasive inclusions or other non‑iron substrates. The use of PCD reduces flank and crater wear compared with conventional cemented‑carbide grades, which extends productive cutting intervals and minimises stoppages for insert changes. This makes the component particularly suitable in serial production environments where consistency and uptime are critical. Advantages include stable tool life and reduced scrap rates due to the abrasion‑resistant cutting edge.

Geometry tuned for surface quality and repeatability

A compact triangular 60° shape combined with a 0.4 mm corner radius and a 7° relief angle produces a predictable cutting line and reliable chip formation. The small corner radius helps to achieve consistent finishes on profiles and shoulders, while the relief angle supports secure contact conditions and reduces rubbing. The integrated chipbreaker 1 contributes to controlled chip fragmentation in typical non‑ferrous applications, improving evacuation and process stability. This geometry ensures repeatable results across batches and supports accurate dimensional tolerances in turned components.

Productivity advantages and practical handling

The combination of WDN10 PCD and the insert’s geometry offers clear productivity benefits: fewer tool changes, longer cutting intervals and stable surface quality. In practice, this translates into lower machine downtime and more predictable cycle times on production machines. Compatibility with standard triangular toolholders enables straightforward integration into existing tool setups. For tool inventories where long run times and minimal maintenances are priorities, the insert supports a leaner tooling strategy and contributes to higher overall equipment effectiveness.

Application guidance and suitability checks

The insert is aimed at non‑ferrous and abrasive, non‑iron materials; the material matrix should be consulted to confirm the match for specific alloys and part conditions. Walter Tools’ WDN10 grade performs best on abrasive aluminium alloys, carbon‑filled plastics and similar materials where a diamond cutting edge resists rapid wear. As with all PCD solutions, avoid use on ferrous materials to prevent rapid edge degradation. For precise recommendations regarding cutting data, clamping and coolant use, consult Metav Werkzeuge’s technical advisors to align cutting speeds, feeds and depths with the selected holder and machine setup.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited to?
The TCGW110204FS-1 WDN10 insert by Walter Tools is optimised for abrasive non‑ferrous materials such as aluminium alloys with abrasives and similar non‑iron substrates; suitability should be checked against the product matrix.

Can the insert be used for finishing operations?
Yes — the 0.4 mm corner radius and controlled geometry support consistent surface finishes on turned components when cutting parameters are selected accordingly.

How does the WDN10 grade compare with carbide inserts?
The WDN10 PCD grade offers superior abrasion resistance compared with cemented‑carbide grades on abrasive non‑ferrous materials, resulting in longer tool life and fewer insert changes.

Is a special holder required for this triangular insert?
Standard triangular toolholders that accept the TCGW format are typically compatible; ensure correct clamping and orientation for the plate indexation required for turning or boring.

Where can cutting data and further technical guidance be obtained?
Cutting recommendations and application support are available from Metav Werkzeuge or Walter Tools technical documentation; consult Metav Werkzeuge for tailored advice.
