TPGN110308 WSM20S indexable turning insert — Tiger‑tec Silver, for rostfreier Stahl and superalloys by Walter Tools

TPGN110308 WSM20S is a triangular indexable turning insert designed for stable chip control and reliable performance when machining rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys.

• Tiger‑tec Silver coating for extended life
• Grade WSM20S for rostfreier Stahl and S‑materials
• Triangle 60° shape for versatile turning operations
• 11° relief angle for secure cutting edge engagement

Robust performance for difficult‑to‑cut alloys

The combination of the WSM20S grade and the Tiger‑tec Silver coating delivers a balance of wear resistance and edge stability when machining materials that tend to work‑harden. The coated cemented carbide substrate supports stable chip formation and reduces the risk of built‑up edge during interrupted cuts. This makes the insert particularly suited for applications in rostfreier Stahl and high‑temperature alloys where heat resistance and a consistent cutting edge are essential for predictable tool life and component quality.

Geometry optimised for process reliability

A triangle 60° format with a corner radius 0.8 mm and an 11° relief angle provides a versatile cutting geometry that combines strength at the cutting tip with favourable cutting forces. The triangular form allows three indexable edges per insert, lowering tool change frequency and improving uptime. The medium corner radius supports general turning tasks while offering a compromise between surface finish and edge robustness, which is beneficial in production environments aiming for consistent throughput.

Practical benefits in workshop workflows

The insert’s compact designation and straightforward clamping requirements simplify tool handling and inventory management. The indexable insert format enables quick replacement without re‑setting the tool, reducing non‑productive time. In series production or repair work where rostfreier Stahl components require repeatable results, the predictable wear behaviour of the coating and grade supports stable process windows and reduces scrap rates.

Application guidance and material compatibility

Designed primarily for rostfreier Stahl and materials classified in group S (heat‑resistant superalloys and titanium), the cutting grade offers a robust response to materials that conduct heat poorly and place high demands on the cutting edge. For customers less familiar with metallurgical groupings: S denotes superalloys and titanium alloys that require heat‑resistant coatings and stable carbide compositions; M denotes rostfreie Stähle, which benefit from coatings that prevent adhesion and promote controlled chip flow.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The TPGN110308 WSM20S insert is intended for rostfreier Stahl and S‑group materials (heat‑resistant superalloys and titanium), where coating performance and edge stability are required.

How does the Tiger‑tec Silver coating benefit machining?
The Tiger‑tec Silver coating on the WSM20S grade reduces friction and improves wear resistance, supporting longer tool life and more consistent machining results when turning demanding alloys.

Can this insert be used for finishing and roughing operations?
The triangle 60° geometry with a corner radius 0.8 mm and 11° relief angle provides a compromise suitable for both general finishing and moderate roughing, depending on cutting parameters and workpiece material.

How many cutting edges are available per insert?
The triangular shape offers three usable indexable edges, enhancing cost efficiency by extending the serviceable life of each insert.

Is this product compatible with standard turning tool holders?
The TPGN110308 WSM20S follows common ISO insert designations for triangular indexable inserts; compatibility depends on holder type—verify holder specifications before assembly.
