TCMT110202-FM4 WSM10S turning insert — Triangle 60° form, Tiger·tec Silver coating by Walter Tools

TCMT110202-FM4 WSM10S is a triangle‑shaped indexable insert designed for turning applications on difficult‑to‑machine stainless steels and superalloys, offering a balance of thermal resistance and edge stability

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for heat resistance
• WSM10S grade for stainless & superalloys
• Triangle 60° form with 7° clearance
• FM4 chipbreaker for secure chip control

High‑performance grade for demanding materials

The WSM10S grade, part of the Tiger·tec Silver family, is a coated carbide designed specifically for machining stainless steel and heat‑resistant superalloys. Its coating improves thermal stability and wear resistance, which in turn reduces the risk of built‑up edge and premature flank wear. For production environments this translates into fewer tool changes and a steadier process, making the solution particularly suited to components that demand consistent surface finish and dimensional control.

Geometry that supports reproducible chip control

The triangle 60° shape combined with a 7° clearance angle and an integrated FM4 chipbreaker ensures predictable chip formation and evacuation during turning operations. A 0.2 mm corner radius helps distribute cutting forces and improves edge robustness on interrupted cuts. Together, these features reduce vibration and support steady cutting conditions, which is essential when working with tough‑to‑cut alloys where thermal load and material adhesion are common issues.

Practical benefits for production and setup

Using this insert brings measurable gains in process reliability: the coated grade mitigates heat‑related wear while the chipbreaker geometry lowers the likelihood of long, stringy chips that interrupt automated workflows. The compact triangle format offers three cutting edges per indexation, aiding cost efficiency per edge and simplifying tool inventory. When combined with suitable holders and cutting data, operators can expect fewer unplanned stoppages and improved repeatability across batches.

Application advice and material scope

The insert is specified for stainless steel (ISO group M) and heat‑resistant superalloys/titanium alloys (ISO group S), where problems such as poor thermal conductivity and aggressive work hardening demand a stable cutting edge. Selection of appropriate cutting speeds, feeds and coolant strategy will further enhance performance; consult technical data sheets for recommended parameters or seek guidance from Metav Werkzeuge for application‑specific recommendations.
