TS16-ER2.5ISO WMP22G indexable turning insert, Tiger‑tec Gold coating, for stainless steel — Walter Tools

The TS16-ER2.5ISO WMP22G is an indexable turning insert engineered to deliver stable chip formation and durable cutting performance in stainless steel machining applications.

• Tiger‑tec Gold coated for longer tool life
• WMP22G grade for stable chip formation
• ER2.5ISO chipbreaker optimised for stainless
• Precision fit for TS16 tool holders

Predictable wear and longer tool life for stainless applications

The Tiger‑tec Gold coating combined with the WMP22G grade provides a balanced mix of wear resistance and heat management that reduces the risk of built‑up edge when machining stainless steel. Coatings of this type use multilayer wear‑protective systems to lower friction and slow abrasive wear; as a result, machinists benefit from a consistent cutting edge over multiple indexings, which reduces unplanned tool changes and increases uptime. The insert's micro‑geometry supports a controlled transition between chip formation and chip evacuation, translating coated‑carbide technology into tangible process reliability.

Improved chip control and fewer interruptions during production

The chipbreaker ER2.5ISO is designed to produce short, manageable chips in materials that tend to form long, stringy swarf. By controlling chip shape at typical feed rates for stainless alloys, the insert minimises entanglement and tool‑holder fouling, allowing higher effective cutting feeds and more stable cycle times. This chip control improves process security and lowers the frequency of operator intervention, which contributes directly to improved overall equipment effectiveness. The result is a measurable efficiency gain in series turning operations.

Seamless integration and economic productivity on the shop floor

With the TS16 interface geometry, the insert offers a precision fit into standard TS16 tool holders, ensuring repeatable seating and secure clamping. That mechanical stability supports predictable performance, making it easier to set up programmes and maintain tolerances across batches. Because the system focuses on durable edge life and repeatability rather than peak single‑pass removal, the insert supports an economical workflow: fewer tool changes, consistent surface finish, and reduced scrap rates. For production planners, that means more predictable output and lower per‑component tooling costs.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The TS16-ER2.5ISO WMP22G is specified for stainless steel applications (material group M) and is formulated to manage the particular chip and heat behaviour of these alloys.

What does the WMP22G grade indicate?
WMP22G is Walter's coated‑carbide grade within the Tiger‑tec Gold family, optimised for a balance of wear resistance and edge stability when machining stainless steels under medium to robust cutting conditions.

How does the ER2.5ISO chipbreaker affect machining?
The ER2.5ISO chipbreaker produces short, controlled chips in stainless materials, improving chip control and reducing the risk of swarf-related interruptions and tool‑holder fouling.

Can this insert be used for hardened steels or general steel?
The available data lists suitability for stainless steel (M); there is no indication that the insert is specified for hardened steels or for general unalloyed steel in this dataset.
