TNMA160404-RK5 WKK10S — Turning insert, Tiger·tec Silver, for cast iron (Walter Tools)

TNMA160404-RK5 WKK10S is a triangle 60° turning insert designed for medium to high-abrasion cast iron machining with a Tiger·tec Silver coating for enhanced life

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for longer tool life
• Optimised for cast iron machining
• Triangle 60° form for versatile operations
• RK5 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation

Longer productive life through advanced coating technology

The combination of the Tiger·tec Silver coating and the WKK10S carbide grade delivers a measurable improvement in wear resistance for abrasive cast iron applications. This coated carbide composition reduces flank and crater wear under cyclic loads, which directly contributes to longer tool life and fewer insert changes. As a result, process stability improves and machine uptime increases, providing a clear efficiency advantage for series turning operations.

Reliable chip control and surface integrity for cast components

Engineered for the particular chip behaviour of grey and nodular cast irons, the RK5 chipbreaker and negative rake geometry provide consistent breaking of short, brittle chips. The RK5 geometry reduces the risk of built-up edge and promotes heat dissipation at the cutting zone, which supports a more consistent surface finish on finished components. These characteristics make the insert suitable for both roughing and finishing passes where predictable chip flow and part quality are required.

Geometry and handling designed to simplify set-up and repeatability

The triangular 60° form with a 0.4 mm corner radius and a 0° negative relief angle offers a stable clamping seat and multiple indexing positions, reducing tooling costs per part. The insert’s designation and form are matched to standard holders for quick replacements and consistent positioning, which shortens set-up times and helps maintain dimensional repeatability across batches. The robust nose geometry also increases resistance to mechanical shock in interrupted cuts.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for? This insert is specified for machining cast iron (ISO group K) and the WKK10S grade is tuned for abrasive wear and short, breaking chips typical of cast materials.

How does the Tiger·tec Silver coating benefit production? The Tiger·tec Silver coating on the TNMA160404-RK5 enhances wear resistance and reduces thermal load, which extends insert life and supports more consistent batch output.

What chip control can be expected with the RK5 chipbreaker? The RK5 chipbreaker promotes reliable breaking of short chips and reduces the likelihood of built-up edge when turning cast iron, improving surface quality and tool stability.

Is the triangular 60° form suitable for multiple operations? Yes, the triangle 60° geometry provides several indexing positions and a robust nose for both roughing and finishing in cast iron turning applications.

What are the key dimensional specifications to check when ordering replacements? Check the ISO designation TNMA160404-RK5 WKK10S, the plate size (16 mm), plate thickness (4 mm) and the corner radius (0.4 mm) to ensure compatibility with the intended toolholder and application.
