TCMT16T308-MK4 WKK10S — Turning insert (triangle 60°, for cast iron) by Walter Tools

TCMT16T308-MK4 WKK10S is an indexable turning insert designed for machining abrasive cast iron materials with a focus on process security and repeatable results

• TCMT16T308-MK4 WKK10S by Walter Tools
• Tiger‑tec Silver coated carbide grade WKK10S
• Optimised for cast iron machining (ISO K)
• Triangle 60° insert, 0.8 mm corner radius

Reliable wear resistance for abrasive cast iron work

The WKK10S grade in the Tiger‑tec Silver series is a coated carbide formulation optimised specifically for cast iron (ISO K). This composition balances wear resistance and sufficient toughness to handle the typically short, brittle chips produced during cast iron turning. The result is more consistent edge life and reduced frequency of index changes, which helps to maintain steady production rates and predictable tool consumption.

Stable chip control and secure process behaviour

The MK4 chipbreaker geometry combined with the triangle 60° shape ensures controlled chip formation and reliable evacuation in turning operations. A 0.8 mm corner radius increases edge strength for interrupted or heavy engagement scenarios, while the tolerance class M supports repeatable seating and stable clamping in compatible toolholders. These features work together to reduce the risk of unexpected edge failure and to support consistent surface quality across batches.

Practical integration and application benefits

Designed for straightforward integration into standard triangular insert pockets, this insert suits a broad range of cast iron turning tasks where process security and predictability are required. The insert's execution (T) and T3 thickness provide the necessary mechanical robustness, while the 7° free angle helps to balance cutting engagement and strength. For detailed cutting‑parameter recommendations or to assess suitability for a specific cast iron grade, consult the technical documentation or Metav Werkzeuge for tailored application advice.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert intended for?
The TCMT16T308-MK4 WKK10S from Walter Tools is specified for machining cast iron (ISO K), where the WKK10S grade provides abrasion resistance and chip behaviour optimised for that material group.

What advantages does the Tiger‑tec Silver coating offer?
The Tiger‑tec Silver coating on the WKK10S grade enhances wear resistance and helps to maintain cutting‑edge stability under abrasive conditions common in cast iron turning.

How does the MK4 chipbreaker influence machining?
The MK4 chipbreaker is designed to produce short, controllable chips in cast iron, improving evacuation and reducing the likelihood of entanglement, which supports reliable production cycles.

What is the effect of the 0.8 mm corner radius?
A 0.8 mm corner radius increases edge strength and contributes to a stable cutting edge, offering improved resistance to chipping and better performance in heavier engagement scenarios.

Is this insert suitable for toolholders with standard triangular pockets?
The triangle 60° geometry and tolerance class M are intended for standard triangular insert pockets; verification of seat fit and clamping dimensions with the chosen toolholder is recommended.
