TCGW16T304FS-1 WDN10 — Triangular PCD indexable insert for turning and boring, 7° clearance, 0.4 mm corner radius | Walter Tools

The TCGW16T304FS-1 WDN10 is a polycrystalline diamond indexable insert engineered for productive machining of abrasive, non‑iron materials where high wear resistance and consistent dimensional accuracy are essential.

• PCD grade WDN10 for abrasive materials
• 7° clearance for accurate cutting geometry
• 0.4 mm corner radius for fine surface finishes

Longer life through PCD hardness and stable wear behaviour

The use of polycrystalline diamond (PCD) in the WDN10 grade provides exceptionally high wear resistance when machining abrasive non‑ferrous materials such as aluminium alloys with abrasive fillers, composites and certain non‑metallic abrasives. PCD converts to a lower flank wear rate compared with conventional carbide grades, so component tolerances remain stable over longer production runs. This results in fewer index changes, improved process uptime and more consistent results in serial turning and boring operations.

Consistent surface finish enabled by optimised geometry

A triangular 60° form combined with a 0.4 mm corner radius yields a predictable cutting edge that supports fine finishing passes. The specified 7° clearance reduces rubbing on the flank, lowering heat generation and preserving edge integrity at the contact zone. Together with a T3 thickness the insert offers mechanical stability in clamping, which helps to maintain dimensional accuracy on turned bores and external profiles. The integrated chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation, reducing the risk of surface marks and tool chatter.

Process reliability and recommended applications

This indexable insert is intended primarily for machining non‑ferrous and abrasive, non‑iron materials; suitability should be confirmed against the product matrix for specific alloys and workpiece conditions. The WDN10 grade is particularly effective where abrasive fillers or hard inclusions accelerate wear on conventional tools. In CNC turning and boring cells the insert contributes to high process reliability through stable chip control and repeatable cutting behaviour, supporting predictable cycle times and component quality.

Practical integration into production and inventory

As an indexable solution, the triangular insert format reduces handling time compared with solid‑tool options: replacement is quick, and stockkeeping is simplified due to the standardised shape and size. The TCGW16T304FS-1 designation and WDN10 grade allow straightforward identification when planning tool sets for non‑ferrous production runs. Because material specifications are catalog dependent, confirm the exact insert material variant for the intended application; doing so ensures optimal combination of tool life and surface integrity.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The TCGW16T304FS-1 WDN10 insert is designed for non‑ferrous and abrasive, non‑iron materials, using the PCD grade to resist abrasive wear; verify specific alloy suitability in the product matrix.

How does the 0.4 mm corner radius affect surface finish?
A 0.4 mm corner radius produces a finer surface finish and reduces peak cutting forces during finishing cuts, supporting consistent part quality with the Walter Tools triangular insert.

Is the WDN10 grade comparable to carbide for abrasive applications?
The WDN10 PCD grade offers significantly higher wear resistance than standard carbide grades on abrasive non‑ferrous materials, improving tool life and stability in serial production.

Which cutting parameters suit this PCD insert?
Cutting parameters depend on workpiece material and machine rigidity; start with conservative feeds and speeds recommended for PCD tooling and adapt based on observed chip formation and surface result with the TCGW16T304FS-1 WDN10.
