TS16-ER18UNJ WMP22G indexable turning insert for stainless steels — Walter Tools

TS16-ER18UNJ WMP22G is an indexable turning insert designed for machining stainless steels under medium to robust cutting conditions

• High-performance Tiger·tec Gold coating
• Optimised for stainless steels (M)
• Coated carbide grade WMP22G
• Stable chip formation under medium to robust cuts

Consistent performance for stainless-steel turning

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating with the WMP22G grade delivers a reliable balance between hardness and toughness, engineered specifically for stainless steels. This coating technology reduces flank wear and improves thermal resistance, which translates into longer tool life and fewer interruptive tool changes. For production environments where predictable performance is essential, the insert supports continuous machining with stable cutting edges and reduced risk of built-up edge.

Better chip control and process stability

Equipped with the ER18UNJ chipbreaker, the insert promotes stable chip formation, even when cutting materials prone to stringing and heavy work-hardening. The carefully designed chip control reduces clogging in the cutting zone and lowers the likelihood of surface damage, which improves process reliability and reduces rework rates. These characteristics make the component suitable for applications where consistent surface quality and continuous throughput are required.

Efficient integration into turning operations

As an indexable turning insert, this component is straightforward to fit into typical toolholders that accommodate the TS16 designation, allowing rapid index changes and minimal downtime. The coated carbide construction ensures compatibility with standard coolant strategies and common lathe setups. By simplifying tool handling and maintenance, the insert contributes to smoother workflow integration and helps maintain high machine utilisation.

Durable in medium to robust cutting conditions

Designed for medium to robust conditions on stainless steels, the insert maintains a stable cutting edge under higher temperatures and challenging chip-forming behaviour. The coated carbide substrate supports repeatable performance across batches, helping to sustain component tolerances and surface finish requirements. This durability supports longer intervals between tool rotations and replacements, contributing to overall production economy.
