TS16-IR-G60-F5 WMP32G – turning indexable insert, optimised for stainless steel (Walter Tools)

TS16-IR-G60-F5 WMP32G is a coated indexable insert engineered for turning operations in stainless steel, combining Tiger·tec Gold technology with a dedicated chipbreaker for stable metal removal

• Coated carbide grade Tiger·tec Gold WMP32G
• Optimised for stainless steel machining
• IR-G60-F5 chipbreaker for secure chips
• Stable cutting edge and long tool life

Delivering consistent machining of stainless steels

The insert is built on a coated carbide substrate from the Tiger·tec Gold family, which increases resistance to abrasive wear and reduces the tendency for built-up edge when machining tough alloys. This results in a reliable cutting edge that maintains geometry over multiple passes, which in turn supports predictable component quality and fewer unscheduled tool changes. For shops working with a range of corrosion-resistant alloys, the grade’s formulation promotes consistent surface finish and process repeatability without sacrificing productivity.

Predictable chip control to reduce stoppages

The integrated IR-G60-F5 chipbreaker is designed to break and evacuate chips effectively during turning of materials in the ISO M group. By promoting stable chip formation, the insert reduces the risk of entanglement and machine downtime and improves operator safety. Chipbreakers tailor chip form to the cutting conditions; the IR-G60-F5 geometry is particularly suited to medium to robust cutting parameters where reliable chip flow enables longer uninterrupted cycles and easier post-process handling.

High process security and extended tool life

Thanks to its coating and substrate combination, the grade offers improved tool life under demanding cutting conditions. The insert supports medium to robust operations in stainless steel where heat generation and material toughness can otherwise shorten edge life. As an indexable insert, it provides economical reindexing and predictable replacement intervals, which simplifies inventory management and reduces per-part tooling costs. The result is a balance between throughput and component integrity, especially where repeatable results are essential for batch production.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert suitable for?
The TS16-IR-G60-F5 WMP32G insert is formulated specifically for ISO M materials and is suitable for a range of stainless steel alloys, providing stable chip control under medium to robust conditions.

What advantages does Tiger·tec Gold bring?
Tiger·tec Gold coating on the WMP32G grade enhances wear resistance and reduces built-up edge, helping the insert maintain a reliable cutting edge and longer service life during stainless steel machining.

How does the IR-G60-F5 chipbreaker affect performance?
The IR-G60-F5 chipbreaker produces predictable chip forms and efficient evacuation, improving machining continuity and reducing the likelihood of stoppages caused by chip entanglement.

Is this insert suitable for finishing operations?
The insert is optimised for medium to robust applications; finishing is possible if cutting parameters are adjusted to lower feeds and speeds, taking advantage of the grade’s stable edge condition.
