TS16-IL16UN WMP22G – Indexable turning insert with Tiger·tec Gold coating (Walter Tools)

A TS16-IL16UN WMP22G insert designed for precision turning of stainless steel components in demanding workshop and production environments

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for enhanced wear resistance
• Optimised IL16UN chipbreaker for stable chip control
• Designed for stainless steel (ISO M) applications

Increase process reliability when turning stainless steels

The coated carbide composition in this indexable plate delivers a consistent cutting performance when machining stainless steels. The WMP22G grade, developed within the Tiger·tec Gold range, is formulated to reduce edge build-up and support secure chip formation even where heat and material toughness challenge cutting conditions. For production-oriented operations, this means fewer interruptions for edge changes and a steadier output quality over longer tool life.

Achieve repeatable surface quality and longer edge life

A combination of coating technology and carbide substrate gives a fine balance between hardness and toughness. The Tiger·tec Gold coating contributes to improved wear resistance, reducing flank wear and helping to maintain the cutting geometry. As a result, the insert supports reproducible surface finishes on turned parts and extends the intervals between index changes, benefiting throughput and reducing downtime in serial machining.

Confident chip control with the IL16UN geometry

The integrated IL16UN chipbreaker is designed to control chips produced from stainless grades that tend to be ductile and form long, stringy swarf. By promoting predictable chip segmentation and evacuation, the chipbreaker helps to avoid entanglement and reduces the risk of workpiece surface damage. This targeted geometry therefore supports both operational safety and consistent part quality in demanding turning cycles.

Practical use and material applicability

Classified for the ISO group M, this insert is intended specifically for stainless steels, which commonly present high heat generation and a tendency to form built-up edge. The selection of WMP22G within the Tiger·tec Gold family provides a robust solution for medium to heavy-duty turning tasks on these materials. The result is a reliable compromise between cutting edge stability and resistance to abrasive and adhesive wear mechanisms.
