TS16-ER18NPT WMP32G indexable turning insert — Tiger·tec Gold grade by Walter Tools

The TS16-ER18NPT WMP32G is an indexable turning insert designed for secure machining of rostfreier Stahl in medium to robust cutting conditions.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for increased wear resistance
• WMP32G grade optimised for rostfreier Stahl machining
• ER18NPT chipbreaker ensures stable chip formation
• Suitable for medium to robust cutting conditions

Consistent edge performance for rostfreier Stahl machining

The WMP32G grade, developed within the Tiger·tec Gold series, delivers a balance of wear resistance and toughness tailored to the demands of rostfreier Stahl. Coated carbide substrates resist thermal degradation and promote stable chip formation, which reduces edge build-up and prolongs effective cutting life. For operations that require repeatable dimensional accuracy, this combination reduces interruptions for tool changes and supports continuous production runs with fewer quality deviations.

Controlled chips and improved surface results

The ER18NPT chipbreaker is engineered to manage the typical adhesion and ductility of rostfreier Stahl, producing short, stable chips even under higher temperatures. Controlled chip shape reduces the risk of surface damage and tool nose wear, helping to maintain consistent workpiece finish and reducing secondary operations. Explained simply: a dedicated chip geometry diverts energy away from forming long, stringy swarf and towards predictable shearing, resulting in better productivity and fewer stopped cycles.

Productivity gains through material and coating synergy

Combining a coated carbide grade with a process-oriented chipbreaker leads to measurable productivity benefits. The coating chemistry of Tiger·tec Gold enhances the insert’s tolerance to heat and abrasion, enabling longer cutting intervals and higher throughput with unchanged clamping and set-up times. The insert’s construction supports repeatable indexability, so tool bodies can be used more efficiently and inventory complexity is reduced — a practical advantage for job shops and production lines seeking cost-effective stability.
