TS16-IR11UN WMP32G Walter Tools — Indexable turning insert, Tiger·tec Gold for stainless steel

A TS16-IR11UN WMP32G indexable insert engineered for stable, medium-to-heavy machining of stainless steel under demanding conditions

• Tiger·tec Gold coated grade WMP32G
• Optimised for stainless steel machining
• IR11UN chipbreaker for stable chip control
• High wear resistance and edge stability

Reliable performance for stainless steel turning

The coated grade WMP32G from Walter Tools combines a modern coating technology with a wear-resistant substrate to tackle the challenges of machining stainless steel. The chemistry and layer structure of Tiger·tec Gold reduce edge build-up and thermal loading, which in turn stabilises cutting forces and extends tool life. This behaviour translates into fewer insert changes and predictable cycle times for serial production. The insert design supports secure chip formation even when materials exhibit toughness and high heat generation.

Stable chip control and process security

Equipped with the IR11UN chipbreaker, this insert promotes controlled chip fragmentation and evacuation at varied cutting depths and feeds. Stable chips reduce surface rework and protect the cutting edge from irregular loading, improving surface finish and dimensional consistency. The combination of chip geometry and coated cemented carbide substrate makes the insert suitable for interrupted cuts and harder operating windows, increasing productive machining time and lowering unit costs through reduced downtime.

Practical advantages and tool selection guidance

When selecting an insert for stainless steel, the focus should be on edge security and repeatability. The WMP32G grade was developed for these requirements, offering a balanced compromise between toughness and hardness for medium to robust applications. For workshops aiming to move from trial to stable series production, this insert provides the necessary process security and reproducible results.
