TS16-IR12UN WMP22G indexable turning insert, Tiger‑tec Gold for stainless steel — Walter Tools

A TS16-IR12UN WMP22G indexable insert designed for secure chip formation and stable cutting when machining stainless steels under medium to robust conditions

• Tiger‑tec Gold coating for improved tool life
• WMP22G grade optimised for stainless steel
• IR12UN chipbreaker for secure chip control

Consistent performance when machining stainless steel

The combination of the WMP22G grade and dedicated chip geometry delivers consistent cutting behaviour when working with stainless steel. Materials in group M are prone to toughness and work hardening; the selected grade supports secure chip formation and reduces the risk of built-up edge. This results in fewer interruptions during production and more predictable component quality, which is particularly important for batch and serial turning operations.

Extended tool life through Tiger‑tec Gold coating

The Tiger‑tec Gold surface treatment on the coated carbide substrate enhances wear resistance and edge stability under thermally demanding conditions. The coating assists in reducing flank wear and maintains cutting-edge integrity for longer tool life, supporting sustained productivity in continuous machining cycles. For manufacturers, this translates into longer indexable insert life and reduced tooling change frequency.

Reliable chip control with the IR12UN chipbreaker

The IR12UN chipbreaker design promotes controlled chip evacuation and minimises erratic chip forms that can compromise process reliability. Stable chip control improves surface finish and lowers the likelihood of component rework. In practical terms, this chip geometry helps to maintain cutting forces within a steady range, supporting reproducible turning performance and safer handling of swarf in the machine environment.

Practical advantages for production environments

As an indexable insert from Walter Tools, this component is suited to medium to robust machining scenarios where consistent results are required. The insert’s specification supports straightforward inventory management, as the grade and chipbreaker combination is applicable across a broad range of rostfrei (stainless) materials. Reliable edge behaviour and optimised chip control offer tangible efficiency gains during high-volume production runs.
