TS16‑ER‑AG55 WMP32G indexable turning insert (stainless steel) by Walter Tools

The TS16‑ER‑AG55 WMP32G is an indexable turning insert engineered for productive turning of stainless steel under medium to robust cutting conditions.

• Tiger‑tec Gold coated grade WMP32G
• Optimised for stainless steel (M)
• Stable chip control and edge security
• Suited to medium to robust cutting conditions

Reliable cutting performance for stainless steel components

The coated cemented carbide grade WMP32G, realised with Tiger‑tec Gold technology, is tailored for the challenges of machining stainless steel: material toughness, tendency to form built‑up edge and elevated heat at the cutting zone. The combination of a hard, wear‑resistant coating and a matched substrate enables stable chip formation and consistent edge integrity over multiple indexings. For production environments focused on repeatability, this insert reduces unscheduled tool changes and supports predictable cycle times while maintaining acceptable surface quality.

Designed chip control and process security for turning operations

The integrated ER‑AG55 chipbreaker is engineered to direct and segment chips in conditions where stainless alloys would otherwise produce long, stringy swarf. The result is easier chip evacuation from the cutting zone and reduced risk of re‑cutting, which conserves the cutting edge and improves component finish. These technical characteristics translate into tangible benefits on the shop floor: fewer interruptions, reduced secondary handling, and improved overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). The insert’s geometry and coating technology together enhance thermal stability and wear resistance under moderate to robust metal‑cutting loads.

Practical integration and selection guidance for workshop use

This indexable insert is intended for standard turning toolholders compatible with TS16‑style inserts and can be selected whenever the workpiece material and cutting conditions require focused resistance against built‑up edge. When specifying tooling combinations, pair the insert with a rigid holder and appropriate coolant strategy to exploit the WMP32G grade’s strengths. The configuration supports a balanced approach: maintain cutting speeds and feeds that prevent excessive heat concentration while benefiting from the coating’s wear protection and the chipbreaker’s control. For unfamiliar alloys or unusual part geometries, rely on process data sheets and Metav Werkzeuge’s application advice to determine optimal parameters.
