TS16-ER12UN WMP22G — indexable turning insert for stainless steels — Walter Tools

TS16-ER12UN WMP22G is an indexable turning insert designed for reliable machining of stainless steels under medium to robust conditions.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide grade WMP22G
• Optimised for rostfreie Stähle machining
• ER12UN chipformer for stable chip control

Higher throughput on stainless steels thanks to optimised grade and coating

The combination of the WMP22G grade with the Tiger·tec Gold coating provides a balanced performance profile that addresses the specific challenges of stainless steels: adhesiveness, increased heat generation and difficult chip breakage. The coated carbide substrate reduces friction at the cutting edge and supports a secure cutting process that helps to maintain surface quality while allowing efficient feed rates. For operations where predictable tool behaviour matters, this insert offers measurable improvements in process stability and piece-to-piece consistency.

Secure chip formation and prolonged tool life with ER12UN geometry

Equipped with the ER12UN chipformer, the insert ensures repeatable chip control across a range of turning operations. Stable chip formation prevents built-up edge and reduces the risk of surface damage on the workpiece, translating into fewer rejects and less rework. The geometry works in concert with the coated grade to extend tool life under intermittent and continuous cuts, which supports a lower cost per part and better overall productivity in series production.

Practical integration into workshop processes and setup

The insert follows established ISO indexing conventions and is compatible with common tool holders for indexable turning. Its designation and dimensions adhere to industry standards, facilitating quick selection and replacement during tool changes. The combination of a robust grade and a proven chipbreaker reduces the need for frequent process adjustments, allowing machine time to be used more effectively and easing the planning of maintenance intervals.

Clear technical rationale and application guidance

For customers with limited metallurgical background, the insert’s suitability for group M (stainless steels) means it is intended for materials that demand heat-resistant cutting edges and consistent chip evacuation. The coated carbide construction provides thermal resilience, while the chipbreaker geometry actively shapes chips to avoid tangling or clogging. When paired with appropriate cutting parameters and coolant strategies, the insert supports efficient machining with reproducible surface finishes and tolerances.
