Reliable stainless-steel machining with secure chip formation

The combination of the WMP32G grade and Tiger·tec Gold coating is engineered specifically for ISO group M materials (stainless steel). In practice, this means improved chip formation and reduced tendency for built-up edge when turning ductile, work-hardening alloys. The ER16UN-2 chipbreaker geometry promotes predictable chip breakage, which reduces interruptions at the tool edge and supports longer uninterrupted cuts. These attributes translate into steadier process behaviour and fewer unplanned interventions on the shop floor.

Longer service life through advanced coated carbide technology

The insert’s coated carbide substrate and the Tiger·tec Gold surface treatment are selected to balance toughness and wear resistance, helping to maintain a sharp cutting edge over extended operation. For workshops focused on productivity, this leads to more consistent component quality and fewer insert changes per production batch. The grade is suited to the thermal challenges of stainless-steel turning, where control of heat and adhesion at the cutting zone is critical to extend tool life and preserve dimensional accuracy.

Process stability and improved surface quality

The ER16UN-2 chipbreaker is optimised for controlled chip evacuation, which improves both safety and surface finish on turned parts. Stable chip control reduces the risk of entanglement and machine downtime, while the combination of geometry and coating supports a fine and repeatable surface finish under varying feed and depth-of-cut conditions. For milling strategies that require predictable tool performance, the insert’s repeatability contributes to fewer reworks and a more efficient machining cycle.

Practical application notes and integration in the workshop

This insert is intended for use on toolholders compatible with its designation and is particularly effective for medium to robust stainless-steel turning tasks where secure chip control and edge stability are priorities. The ISO marking (M) clarifies material suitability and helps in tool selection for batch production or bespoke component machining.
