Greater uptime through predictable wear performance

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WMP32G grade delivers markedly improved wear resistance compared with standard coated carbides, which reduces the frequency of tool changes and interruptions. For components in stainless steel, where heat generation and material ductility tend to challenge edge stability, this coated carbide formulation supports stable flank and crater behaviour. The result is a measurable increase in machining uptime and a reduction in unplanned downtime, improving overall production efficiency.

Consistent chip control for safer, cleaner turning

With the EL28UN chipbreaker geometry, the insert produces controlled, short chips that are easier to evacuate and manage in automated or manual turning operations. Stable chip formation minimises the risk of built-up edge and reduces surface damage on the workpiece, leading to better surface finish and fewer rework cycles. This geometric optimisation directly supports predictable cutting forces and a smoother process window when working with challenging ferritic and austenitic stainless steels.

Process security and productivity from a proven brand

Produced by Walter Tools, the insert is engineered for reproducible performance across batch production and single-part runs alike. The grade’s focus on edge robustness and the coating’s thermal stability translates into reliable tool life and consistent component quality, which supports higher machine utilisation and lower overall tooling costs. Where traceable, repeatable results matter, the combination of cutting-edge grade and manufacturer expertise enhances confidence in every machining step.

Practical handling and system compatibility for the shop floor

The designation TS16-EL28UN indicates the insert geometry and chipbreaker family commonly used in turning tool systems; the indexable format simplifies tool handling and quick‑change operations. Rapid indexing of the insert restores a fresh cutting edge without time-consuming regrinds, helping to shorten set-up and maintenance intervals. This practicality suits workshops that require both performance and straightforward logistics for tooling management.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The TS16-EL28UN WMP32G indexable turning insert is specified for machining stainless steel (material group M) and is tuned to handle the heat and ductility characteristics common to those alloys.

How does the Tiger·tec Gold coating benefit production runs?
The Tiger·tec Gold coating on the WMP32G grade increases wear resistance and thermal stability, which in turn supports longer tool life and more consistent performance over extended production runs with the TS16-EL28UN insert.

What advantage does the EL28UN chipbreaker provide?
The EL28UN chipbreaker promotes controlled, short chips and stable chip evacuation, reducing the risk of built-up edge and improving the surface quality produced by the TS16-EL28UN insert.

Is the TS16-EL28UN compatible with common turning toolholders?
The TS16 designation corresponds to a standard insert geometry intended for holders that accept TS16-form inserts; compatibility should be confirmed against the holder catalogue and the TS16-EL28UN WMP32G specification.

Can this insert improve process security in mixed production?
Yes, the combination of the WMP32G grade and Tiger·tec Gold coating in the TS16-EL28UN insert supports repeatable edge stability, which enhances process security and reduces scrap rates across varied stainless steel components.
