TS16-IR16UN WMP22G indexable turning insert – Tiger‑tec Gold coating, for rostfreier Stahl (Walter Tools)

TS16-IR16UN WMP22G is an indexable turning insert designed for robust machining of rostfreier Stahl in medium to heavy cutting conditions

• Tiger‑tec Gold coating for extended tool life
• WMP22G grade: coated carbide for tough conditions
• Optimised chip control on rostfreier Stahl
• Reliable edge stability and broad material range

Consistent performance for demanding rostfreier Stahl work

The Tiger‑tec Gold technology combined with the WMP22G grade provides a balanced approach to wear resistance and fracture toughness. In rostfreier Stahl applications, which are prone to work hardening and high cutting temperatures, this coated carbide composition supports a stable cutting edge and predictable wear behaviour. The result is fewer unplanned insert changes and a more consistent surface finish, making the solution suitable for job shops and production environments that require dependable cycle times and lower tooling-related interruptions.

Improved chip control and machining security

The integrated IR16UN chipbreaker geometry is designed to shape and evacuate chips reliably during turning operations on rostfreier Stahl. Better chip formation reduces the risk of built-up edge and promotes a steady metal removal rate, which in turn supports higher process stability and improved component quality. This geometry helps maintain tool life under unreliable conditions and contributes to safer machine operation by avoiding long, stringy chips that can affect downstream processes.

Productivity benefits and predictable tool life

Adopting this insert in compatible toolholders delivers measurable productivity advantages: fewer tool changes, reduced scrap rates and enhanced repeatability. The coated carbide construction and optimised chip control combine to extend effective cutting lengths and simplify tool management. For production planning, this means more reliable cycle times and a clearer view of tooling costs per part. Where process repeatability and surface integrity are priorities, this turning insert helps to stabilise the machining chain and supports higher overall equipment effectiveness.
