Longer tool life with Tiger·tec Gold for rostfreier Stahl

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WMP32G carbide grade delivers a measurable improvement in wear resistance when working with rostfreier Stahl. The coating reduces flank wear and helps prevent adhesive built-up edge, which are common issues when machining tough, ductile stainless alloys. As a result, tool-change intervals are extended and component tolerances remain stable over longer production runs. This benefit converts directly into lower machine downtime and improved process reliability.

Secure chip control and consistent cutting performance

Equipped with the IR06RD chipbreaker geometry, the insert promotes stable chip formation even under variable cutting parameters. Predictable chip behaviour reduces the risk of surface damage and tool edge degradation, helping to maintain good surface finish and dimensional accuracy. The controlled chips also simplify coolant and chip management at the machine, supporting safer and cleaner shop-floor operations while keeping cycle times consistent.

Practical advantages for production efficiency and repeatability

Made as a coated carbide grade, the insert is engineered for repeatable performance in demanding turning tasks on materials classified as M (rostfreier Stahl). The coating and substrate pairing support a wide range of cutting speeds and feeds, making the insert a reliable choice for mixed-series production where set-up flexibility is required. Operators benefit from consistent edge stability, while production planners see improvements in tool-life predictability — both contributing to a lower total cost of ownership.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The TS16-IR06RD WMP32G insert is designed for rostfreier Stahl (ISO group M) and performs well under medium to robust cutting conditions.

How does the Tiger·tec Gold coating improve performance?
The Tiger·tec Gold coating on the WMP32G grade increases wear resistance and reduces built-up edge, which enhances tool life and process stability when turning rostfreier Stahl.

Which chipbreaker is fitted and what does it achieve?
The insert features the IR06RD chipbreaker, which ensures stable chip formation and predictable chip flow for safer and more consistent machining.

Is this insert suitable for high-feed or heavy-roughing operations?
The WMP32G grade and IR06RD geometry are optimised for medium to robust applications; suitability for heavy-roughing depends on specific cutting parameters and machine capability.
