TNMM220416-HU3 WPP10G — Turning indexable insert, Tiger·tec Gold coating, for steel | Walter Tools

The TNMM220416-HU3 WPP10G is a triangular 60° turning insert optimised for ISO P (steel) applications, featuring a Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide grade and a HU3 chipbreaker for stable, repeatable cutting performance.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide
• Designed for steel (ISO P)
• Triangular 60° form, 1.6 mm corner radius

Improved productivity through optimised coating and grade

The Tiger·tec Gold technology in this insert delivers a coated carbide structure designed to reduce wear and maintain a sharper cutting edge over longer cycles. As a result, the tool shows improved life in continuous production environments and reduces tool-change frequency. The WPP10G grade is calibrated for steel (ISO P) machining, addressing typical heat and chip-formation behaviour encountered in unalloyed and alloyed steels. For production managers this translates into more predictable tool life and fewer interruptions to machining schedules.

Geometry that stabilises cutting and chip behaviour

The triangular 60° shape combined with a 1.6 mm corner radius and the HU3 chipbreaker provides robust edge strength and reliable chip formation. The insert’s 0° negative rake enhances mechanical stability at the cutting edge, which is especially beneficial for heavier cuts or interrupted machining. The HU3 chipbreaker is designed to control chip curl and fracture under varying feed conditions, reducing the risk of chip re-cutting and helping to secure surface quality and cycle-time consistency.

Practical integration and machining advantages

With tolerance class M and an inscribed circle of 22 mm, this insert fits standard triangular toolholders while offering the dimensional reliability required for repeat production. The thickness 4.0 mm (code 04) supports rigidity in the cutting zone, helping to reduce vibration in moderate to heavy-duty turning. The combination of grade and geometry makes the insert suitable for a wide range of turning tasks—from medium finishing to robust roughing—where steady performance and predictable outcomes are priorities.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The TNMM220416-HU3 WPP10G is designed primarily for steel (ISO P) machining; the WPP10G grade and Tiger·tec Gold coating address the heat and chip-formation characteristics typical of steel.

What advantages does the Tiger·tec Gold coating provide?
Tiger·tec Gold on the WPP10G grade enhances wear resistance and edge stability, which supports longer tool life and more consistent machining results with Walter Tools inserts.

When is a 0° negative rake recommended?
A 0° negative rake is advantageous for operations requiring a strong cutting edge and resistance to impact or vibration; the TNMM220416-HU3 configuration helps secure edge integrity during tougher cuts.

How does the HU3 chipbreaker affect surface finish?
The HU3 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation, reducing the likelihood of chip re-cutting and helping to maintain consistent surface quality during varying feeds.
