TCMT16T304-RP4 WPP30G — Turning insert, Tiger‑tec Gold coating, for steel | Walter Tools

A TCMT16T304-RP4 WPP30G indexable insert designed for steel machining, combining a robust triangle 60° geometry with a chipbreaker tuned for predictable chip formation.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended life
• Optimised for steel machining
• Triangle 60° insert geometry
• 0.4 mm corner radius for stable edges

Increase throughput through controlled chip formation

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Gold coating and the RP4 chipbreaker delivers predictable chip breakage and reduced cutting forces, which translates into higher process efficiency and longer uninterrupted running times. For operations where cycle time matters, the coating reduces flank wear and improves resistance to adhesive and abrasive wear, while the chipbreaker maintains short, controllable chips for safe evacuation. These characteristics support a smooth production flow and fewer tool changes, improving overall tool utilisation and lowering machining costs per part.

Secure edges and consistent accuracy with proven geometry

A triangle 60° insert shape with a 0.4 mm corner radius and a 7° clearance angle provides a balance between strength and accessibility in interrupted cuts and general turning. The modest corner radius increases edge stability under variable loads, reducing the risk of chipping during hard engagement, while the 7° relief minimises rubbing and heat build-up. This geometry is particularly effective in finishing and medium-depth turning where surface quality and dimensional repeatability are priorities, resulting in reliable component tolerances and reduced rework.

Versatile performance for steel applications with reliable wear behaviour

Specifically suited to the ISO P material group, this grade delivers a mix of wear resistance and toughness appropriate for a wide range of steels, from unalloyed to alloyed grades. The WPP30G coated carbide offers consistent performance across varying cutting conditions and supports both continuous and semi‑continuous cut regimes. As a Walter Tools product, the insert benefits from tested coating technology and manufacturing standards, contributing to reproducible tool life and steady process parameters — a practical choice for production environments seeking predictable results and reduced downtime.
