TS16-IR1.5ISO WMP22G Indexable Turning Insert – Tiger-tec Gold for stainless steel (Walter Tools)

A TS16-IR1.5ISO WMP22G indexable turning insert engineered for stable cutting and reliable chip formation when turning stainless steel under medium to robust conditions.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended life
• Optimised IR1.5ISO chip control
• Grade WMP22G for stainless steel
• Suitable for medium to robust cutting conditions

Consistent performance for demanding stainless-steel turning

The Tiger·tec Gold combination in this insert delivers enhanced wear resistance and a reliably shaped cutting edge for materials in the ISO M group. The coated carbide substrate, specified as WMP22G, is selected to reduce built-up edge and maintain a stable cutting geometry during interrupted or heavy cuts. As a result, the insert contributes to predictable tool life and consistent dimensional accuracy in serial production.

Predictable chip control and process efficiency

The IR1.5ISO chipbreaker is designed to break and evacuate chips typically formed when machining stainless steel, a material prone to long, stringy chips and high thermal loads. Controlled chip formation reduces the risk of workpiece damage and machine downtime, improving cycle times and operator safety. The insert’s geometry supports steady cutting forces and helps to preserve the cutting edge, which yields fewer tool changes and higher overall productivity.

Practical benefits in the workshop and on the shop floor

Selected for medium to robust machining conditions, this indexable insert supports industrial turning operations where repeatability and reliability are essential. The coated grade and chipbreaker work together to offer a balance between process security and tool economy: longer intervals between indexings, less rework due to edge wear, and a more stable surface finish on stainless components. Compatibility with standard turning toolholders must be verified prior to use.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The TS16-IR1.5ISO WMP22G insert is intended primarily for stainless steel (ISO M) applications and is optimised for the typical challenges of those materials.

Does the insert feature a coating and what is its benefit?
Yes; the insert uses the Tiger·tec Gold coating technology, which enhances wear resistance and helps maintain a sharp, stable cutting edge under elevated temperatures.

What advantage does the IR1.5ISO chipbreaker provide?
The IR1.5ISO chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation when machining tough, ductile stainless steels, reducing the risk of long, entangling chips.

Is the WMP22G grade suitable for interrupted cuts?
WMP22G is designed for medium to robust conditions and provides a balance of toughness and wear resistance that is suitable for many interrupted cutting scenarios encountered in stainless-steel turning.

How does this insert affect tool-change frequency?
By combining the WMP22G grade with Tiger·tec Gold coating and the IR1.5ISO chipbreaker, the insert offers improved life and edge stability, typically leading to fewer indexings and reduced tool-change frequency.
