TS16-ER1.25ISO WMP22G — Indexable turning insert, Tiger·tec Gold coating by Walter Tools

The TS16-ER1.25ISO WMP22G is an indexable turning insert engineered for robust machining of stainless steels (ISO M), combining a dedicated chipbreaker with a coated carbide grade for stable performance under medium to heavy cutting conditions.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended tool life
• Optimised for stainless steel (ISO M)
• Stable chip control in medium to heavy cuts
• Consistent wear resistance and edge stability

Improved reliability for stainless‑steel turning

The WMP22G grade, integrated in the Tiger·tec Gold series, is a coated carbide formulation designed specifically for machining stainless steels. Its composition supports stable chip formation and resists the tendencies of work-hardening and edge build-up typical of these alloys. The result is fewer tool changes and a more predictable turning process that supports higher overall productivity.

Predictable chip control and machining behaviour

The ER1.25ISO chipbreaker geometry delivers controlled chip segmentation for a wide range of turning cuts. By combining a purpose‑designed chipbreaker with the coated carbide substrate, this indexable insert reduces entangling and contributes to a consistent surface finish. For manufacturing environments seeking repeatable cycles, the improved chip evacuation enhances throughput and minimises secondary handling.

Lower process risk through advanced coating technology

Tiger·tec Gold technology enhances thermal stability and wear resistance, which translates into longer tool life and steadier cutting edges. The coating supports reduced flank wear during demanding operations, which helps to maintain component tolerances and reduce scrap rates. In short production runs as well as longer series, the grade offers a balance between durability and reliable cutting performance.

Selection guidance for best results

This insert is aimed at operations where stainless steels (ISO M) are the primary material and where medium to robust cutting conditions are common. When choosing this type of insert, prioritise suitable cutting parameters and toolholder stability to exploit the edge stability and chip control properties. For detailed recommendations on feeds, speeds and holder compatibility, technical consultation is available to match the insert to the specific machining task.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for machining austenitic stainless steels?
The TS16-ER1.25ISO WMP22G insert from Walter Tools is developed for ISO M materials, including austenitic stainless steels, and offers chip control and edge stability appropriate for these alloys.

What advantage does the Tiger·tec Gold treatment provide?
Tiger·tec Gold on the WMP22G grade increases thermal resistance and wear performance, which improves tool life and maintains cutting-edge integrity when turning stainless steels.

How does the ER1.25ISO chipbreaker affect surface finish?
The ER1.25ISO chipbreaker on this turning insert promotes controlled chip formation, which supports consistent surface quality and reduces the risk of built-up edge during medium to heavy cuts.

Can this insert be used for light finishing passes?
While optimised for medium to robust conditions, the TS16-ER1.25ISO WMP22G can be employed for finishing with adjusted feeds and speeds; consult application parameters to ensure the desired surface results.

How does WMP22G compare to other grades for stainless work?
WMP22G balances wear resistance and chip control for stainless steels; it is particularly suited where process reliability and reduced edge build-up are priorities in turning operations.
