TS16-ER1.0ISO WMP22G — indexable turning insert, Tiger·tec Gold coating for stainless steel by Walter Tools

The TS16-ER1.0ISO WMP22G is an indexable turning insert designed to provide consistent chip control and durable cutting edges when machining stainless steel under medium to robust conditions

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for high process security
• WMP22G grade optimised for stainless steel machining
• Stable chip formation and consistent cutting edge
• Suitable for medium to robust machining conditions

Consistent machining performance for stainless steel components

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WMP22G cutting grade delivers a balance of wear resistance and chip control specifically for stainless steel applications. The coating reduces flank wear and supports a stable cutting edge at elevated temperatures, which is particularly relevant for austenitic and other tough stainless alloys that tend to produce built-up edge and high heat at the cutting zone. As a result, the insert helps to maintain dimensional consistency and surface quality over extended tool life, reducing unplanned interruptions in production.

Predictability and process security that support productivity

By choosing a coated carbide grade engineered for the M-material group, operations gain process security and fewer unexpected tool changes. The insert’s properties promote repeatable cutting behaviour, facilitating stable cycle times and lower scrap rates. For manufacturers seeking to optimise throughput while preserving surface finish, this grade offers a pragmatic compromise between edge robustness and economic performance. The improved tool life also contributes to lower overall tooling costs per part in medium to robust cutting conditions.

Better chip control and surface integrity with the ER1.0ISO chipbreaker

The ER1.0ISO chipbreaker is designed to enable reliable chip breaking and evacuation when turning stainless steels, which often produce long, stringy chips. Effective chip control reduces the risk of part damage, tool interference and secondary operations to clear swarf. In addition, the controlled chip flow helps to avoid built-up edge formation, supporting improved surface integrity and a more predictable finishing process without the need for complex cooling strategies.

Application focus and integration into existing tooling systems

The insert is provided in an indexable format that integrates with corresponding toolholders compatible with the TS16 geometry. This allows straightforward replacement and repositioning of cutting edges, simplifying tooling logistics on the shop floor. The coated carbide construction and the specific grade characteristics make the insert suitable for workshops producing medium to heavy stainless-steel components where reliability and reproducible results are priorities. For clients introducing new workpiece alloys or adjusting feeds and speeds, the insert’s known behaviour with M-group materials reduces the need for lengthy process development.
