TS16-IR12BUT WMP32G indexable turning insert — Tiger·tec Gold grade for rostfreier Stahl (Walter Tools)

The TS16-IR12BUT WMP32G is an indexable turning insert engineered for reliable machining of rostfreier Stahl under medium to robust operating conditions, combining a coated carbide substrate with an optimised chipbreaker for stable performance.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide technology
• Optimised for rostfreier Stahl machining
• Stable chip control in demanding conditions

Consistent machining performance for rostfreier Stahl

The combination of Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WMP32G cutting grade offers coated carbide performance tuned to the demands of rostfreier Stahl. The coating enhances heat resistance and reduces built-up edge formation, which are common challenges when turning austenitic and other stainless alloys. Improved chip formation ensures predictable metal removal and helps maintain surface finish without frequent intervention. For production environments where repeatability and process stability matter, this specification reduces scrap and supports consistent cycle times.

Longer tool life and measurable productivity gains

A wear-optimised substrate and the Tiger·tec Gold surface treatment contribute to wear resistance and a stable cutting edge, extending the interval between tool changes. This leads to fewer machine stops and lower handling time per component, improving overall productivity and cost-efficiency in series turning operations. The design supports both roughing and semi-finishing cuts in medium to robust cutting conditions, allowing process planners to balance cutting data for throughput without compromising component quality.

Reliable chip control and process security

The integrated chipbreaker IR12BUT is developed to manage chips effectively in tougher rostfreie Stahl applications, reducing the risk of entanglement and improving swarf evacuation. As an indexable insert, the geometry provides repeatable seating and straightforward index changes, which shortens set-up times and reduces operator variability. The designation M corresponds to rostfreie Stähle within ISO material group coding, emphasising suitability for stainless steel families that typically require specialised grades to avoid built-up edge and excessive heat generation.

Practical application guidance and assistance

The insert is intended for turning processes in production and job-shop environments where robustness and consistent surface quality are priorities. When selecting cutting data, prioritise stable clamping and appropriate coolant strategy to leverage the Tiger·tec Gold coating benefits fully. If additional technical data or tailored cutting parameters are required, Metav Werkzeuge provides application advice and can assist in optimising feeds and speeds for specific rostfreie Stahl alloys.
