TS11-IR1.5ISO WMP22G indexable turning insert for stainless steel – Walter Tools

The TS11-IR1.5ISO WMP22G is an indexable turning insert engineered for medium to robust machining of stainless steel, offering stable chip formation and consistent cutting-edge performance under demanding thermal and mechanical loads.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for stable cutting edge
• WMP22G grade optimised for stainless steel
• IR1.5ISO chipbreaker for predictable chip flow
• Designed for medium to robust machining

Consistent chip control reduces downtime and scrap

The Tiger·tec Gold coating combined with the IR1.5ISO chipbreaker delivers predictable chip formation when machining stainless steel. These alloys tend to be tough and produce long, stringy chips; the chipbreaker geometry actively segments and evacuates chips to reduce re-cutting and the risk of built-up edge. As a result, process stability improves and machine idle time for clearing chips is reduced, which supports higher throughput in serial production.

Increased tool life and repeatable performance

The WMP22G grade is a coated carbide formulation that balances wear resistance with fracture toughness for extended cutting-edge life in elevated temperatures typical of stainless steel cutting. The coating technology enhances thermal protection and helps maintain a stable cutting edge, so fewer index changes are required over production runs. This leads to lower tool consumption per part and more predictable maintenance intervals—key factors for cost-efficient turning operations.

Practical machining benefits for workshop and production floors

With a geometry optimised for medium to robust feeds, this insert supports secure cutting under varying cutting conditions. The insert’s design reduces the likelihood of built-up edge and improves surface finish in many stainless steel applications. Operators and process planners benefit from easier parameter ramp-up and fewer trial passes, helping to shorten setup times and increase first-part quality in turning centres and lathes.

Selection and application guidance for reliable results

When integrating this insert into a tooling system, pair it with stable clamping and appropriate coolant strategy to maximise the advantages of the Tiger·tec Gold surface layer and WMP22G microstructure. For finishing passes, moderate feed rates and higher cutting speeds may exploit the coating’s thermal resilience, while for heavier cuts the chipbreaker geometry helps maintain safe chip flow. Metav Werkzeuge can provide cutting data tailored to specific stainless steel grades and machine capabilities.
