TS16-IR-G55-F5 WMP32G turning insert (Tiger·tec Gold) – Walter Tools

The TS16-IR-G55-F5 WMP32G is an indexable turning insert developed for machining stainless steel under medium to robust cutting conditions, combining a coated carbide grade with a chipbreaker tailored for safe chip control

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for consistent edge life
• WMP32G grade optimised for stainless steel
• IR-G55-F5 chipbreaker for secure chip control
• Suitable for medium to heavy cutting conditions

Higher process stability through coating technology

The combination of Tiger·tec Gold coating and a coated carbide substrate provides improved resistance to thermal and mechanical wear, which translates into a more predictable tool life when working with stainless materials. The WMP32G grade is formulated for the challenges posed by stainless steel — material groups with high toughness and tendency to produce built‑up edge and heavy, stringy chips. By stabilising the cutting edge and delaying flank wear, the insert reduces unplanned tool changes and contributes to steadier machining cycles and fewer interruptions on the production floor.

Reliable chip control and better surface results

The integrated IR‑G55‑F5 chipbreaker is designed to promote consistent chip formation and evacuation in demanding turning operations. Controlled chips lower the risk of re-cutting or part damage and help maintain tool life by avoiding sudden load peaks. In practical terms, the geometry assists in producing a cleaner surface finish and reduces secondary operations for chip management, which supports both efficiency gains and improved output quality during sequential batch production.

Application focus and operational benefits

As part of the Tiger·tec Gold series, this insert supports medium to heavy applications on stainless steel, offering a balance between toughness and wear resistance for longer continuous cuts. The format TS16‑IR‑G55‑F5 suits standard indexable turning toolholders and delivers repeatable performance in serial machining environments. The grade and chipbreaker orientation together promote stable cutting forces and reduced cycle variability, which is especially valuable for shops prioritising throughput and process predictability over frequent tool interventions.
