TS16-IL18UN WMP32G indexable turning insert for stainless steels — Walter Tools

The TS16-IL18UN WMP32G is an indexable turning insert engineered for reliable finishing and semi-rough turning of stainless steels under moderate to robust cutting conditions, offering a balance of wear resistance and secure chip formation.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for long tool life
• Optimised IL18UN chipbreaker for stable chips
• Designed for stainless steels (material group M)

Improved process security and consistent productivity

The combination of a coated carbide grade and the Tiger·tec Gold technology provides measurable advantages in process reliability. The insert’s ceramic-enhanced coating improves thermal resistance and reduces adhesive wear, which leads to longer tool life and fewer interruptions for index changes. For workshops processing a range of ferritic and austenitic alloys, the grade WMP32G supports stable cutting-edge behaviour, helping to maintain cycle times and reduce variability in component quality. This results in fewer reworks and a steadier manufacturing flow.

Predictable chip control and superior surface outcomes

An optimised chipformer such as IL18UN delivers consistent chip segmentation when machining materials that tend to produce long, stringy swarf. The tailored geometry encourages short, curled chips that evacuate reliably, reducing heat build-up at the cutting edge and protecting the workpiece surface. As a result, operators benefit from improved surface finish and easier handling of chips at the machine, which contributes to safer, more efficient shifts and less manual intervention during production.

Economical tool life with application-focused grade

The grade WMP32G is a coated hardmetal composition tuned for stainless steels and is intended for medium to robust operating conditions. Its wear behaviour and edge stability make it suitable where repeated, accurate performance is required; this supports predictable tooling schedules and lower tooling costs per component. Specifying genuine Walter Tools inserts also facilitates repeatable tool set-ups and consistent batch results, which is valuable for quality-sensitive production environments and for meeting delivery commitments.
