TCMT16T308‑MM4 WSM10S — Turning indexable insert, Tiger‑tec Silver (Walter Tools)

The TCMT16T308‑MM4 WSM10S is a triangular turning indexable insert optimised for the machining of stainless steel and high‑temperature alloys in demanding turning and boring operations.

• Tiger‑tec Silver coating for high durability
• WSM10S grade for stainless steel and superalloys
• MM4 chipbreaker for reliable chip control
• Triangle 60° with 0.8 mm corner radius

Maximise process stability and tool life with advanced coating technology

The Tiger‑tec Silver coating, combined with the WSM10S carbide grade, provides a balance of wear resistance and edge robustness, designed specifically for tough turning tasks. This coating reduces flank wear under elevated temperatures and helps maintain a stable cutting edge when machining stainless steel and heat‑resistant alloys. The result is fewer interruptions for tool changes and a reproducible tool life that supports predictable production planning and cost‑efficiency.

Predictable chip formation and surface quality for smoother cycles

The MM4 chipbreaker geometry promotes segmented, controllable chips that evacuate cleanly from the cutting zone, reducing the risk of built‑up edge on sensitive surfaces. Combined with the 0.8 mm corner radius and a 7° clearance angle, this geometry supports a reliable cutting pattern and enhances surface finish, particularly when finishing passes are required. The design emphasises consistency: less rework, fewer rejects, and improved throughput for serial production.

Tailored for stainless steel and demanding materials

This insert is specified for ISO group M (rostfreie Stähle) and ISO group S (heat‑resistant superalloys and titanium) applications. The grade’s composition and coating strategy address the specific challenges of these materials—poor heat conduction, work‑hardening tendencies and aggressive edge loading—by favouring thermal stability and controlled wear. For machine shops tackling stainless components or aerospace alloys, the insert supports safer chip behaviour and sustained cutting performance under interrupted cuts or high thermal loads.

Integration advice and lean implementation in production

With a triangle 60° form and a 16 mm size, the insert is compatible with common turning and boring toolholders and offers easy indexing for rapid tool renewals. The T3 thickness and the M tolerance class ensure repeatable seating and concentricity in systems that demand precision. For best results, combine the insert with appropriate coolant strategies and validated cutting parameters; technical consultations are available to adapt feeds, speeds and depths of cut to specific machine tool and workpiece combinations, helping to shorten ramp‑up time and reduce trial‑and‑error.
