TCMT16T304-RM4 WMP20G – Indexable turning insert, triangle 60°, for rostfreier Stahl (Walter Tools)

TCMT16T304-RM4 WMP20G is a coated carbide indexable insert designed for turning applications in rostfreier Stahl, offering a balance of process security and tool life.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended wear resistance
• RM4 chipbreaker for stable chip control
• Triangle 60° form, 0.4 mm nose radius
• Suitable for rostfreier Stahl (ISO group M)

Greater process security when machining rostfreier Stahl

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold technology and the grade WMP20G provides a coated carbide solution optimised for the challenges of machining rostfreier Stahl. These materials tend to be tough and prone to built-up edge; the specialised coating reduces adhesion and thermal impact, which promotes stable cutting performance and longer intervals between index changes. The RM4 chipbreaker contributes to consistent swarf formation, lowering the risk of unpredictable tool loads and improving cycle reliability.

Geometry designed for repeatable turning quality

A triangle 60° plate shape with a 0.4 mm nose radius and a 7° clearance angle combines rigidity with the ability to produce good surface finish and repeatable profiles. The insert thickness T3 and size 16 mm ensure secure seating in compatible toolholders, supporting accurate positioning and stable cutting forces. The modest nose radius helps achieve a balance between surface quality and tool strength, especially under the medium to robust cutting conditions common when working with rostfreier Stahl.

Economical performance and easy integration on the shop floor

Using a coated grade such as WMP20G reduces tooling costs through longer usable life and predictable wear patterns. The insert’s construction and chip control minimise interruptions for rework or tool adjustment, enhancing throughput and reducing overall machining costs. As an indexable insert from Walter Tools, it integrates with standard clamping systems and is suitable for operations where consistent edge life and process security are priorities.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for machining stainless steels?
Yes. The TCMT16T304-RM4 WMP20G from Walter Tools is specifically graded and coated for rostfreier Stahl, providing improved chip control and wear resistance for those materials.

What does the RM4 chipbreaker deliver in practice?
The RM4 chipbreaker stabilises chip formation and evacuation during turning, which helps maintain consistent cutting forces and reduces the likelihood of built-up edge with the TCMT16T304-RM4 WMP20G insert.

Can the insert produce a fine surface finish with a 0.4 mm nose radius?
A 0.4 mm nose radius offers a compromise between strength and finish; when using the TCMT16T304-RM4 WMP20G with appropriate feeds and speeds, it supports good surface quality while preserving edge durability.

Which toolholder form is recommended for this triangle insert?
Triangle 60° indexable inserts are typically used in matching triangular toolholders; the TCMT16T304-RM4 WMP20G is designed for standard holders that accept 16 mm triangular inserts.

How does the Tiger·tec Gold coating affect tool life?
The Tiger·tec Gold coating on the WMP20G grade enhances wear resistance and thermal stability, resulting in longer usable life and more consistent performance when machining rostfreier Stahl.
