TS16-IR-A60 WMP32G — Indexable turning insert, Tiger·tec Gold, Walter Tools

TS16-IR-A60 WMP32G is an indexable turning insert designed for turning applications on stainless steels, delivering stable chip control and reliable cutting-edge life in medium to robust conditions

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended edge life
• Optimised IR‑A60 chipbreaker for ISO M steels
• Suited to stainless steels (ISO M) machining
• Stable chip formation in medium to robust conditions

Reliable performance when turning stainless steels

Stainless-steel turning presents specific challenges: high toughness, tendency to form built-up edge and elevated cutting temperatures. The TS16-IR-A60 WMP32G insert combines a coated carbide substrate with Tiger·tec Gold technology to address these issues. The grade WMP32G is formulated for stainless steels (ISO M), promoting controlled deformation of the chip and a safer cutting process. This results in improved tool life and reduced interruptions in production, which supports smoother cycle times and more predictable machining outcomes.

Coating and chip control that reduce edge wear

The Tiger·tec Gold coating enhances thermal resistance and reduces adhesion of material to the cutting edge, while the IR‑A60 chipbreaker is shaped to promote short, controllable chips when machining demanding alloys. The combination of a dedicated M-grade and the optimised chip control lowers the risk of built-up edge and sudden flank wear. For operations where consistent surface quality and repeatable tool life are priorities, this insert delivers measurable improvements in chip control and edge stability, translating into fewer tool changes and steadier part quality.

Production benefits: consistent finishes and process security

In production environments requiring repeatable results on stainless steels, the insert offers tangible process benefits: steadier cutting forces, predictable tool change intervals and more uniform surface finish. The mechanical design supports medium to robust cutting conditions typical of demanding turning operations. For shops seeking higher process reliability, the insert contributes to process security and consistent part quality, and Metav Werkzeuge can provide further specification matching for particular machine and holder systems.
