TS16-IR18UN-F5 WMP32G – Indexable turning insert, Tiger‑tec Gold for stainless steels by Walter Tools

A TS16-IR18UN-F5 WMP32G turning insert engineered for secure chip control and extended edge life during medium to robust stainless‑steel turning applications

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended tool life
• Optimised IR18UN‑F5 chip control
• Specifically for machining stainless steels
• Coated carbide grade WMP32G for stability

Consistent performance in stainless‑steel turning

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Gold coating and the WMP32G grade supplies high thermal resistance and reliable wear protection for demanding work on stainless steels (ISO group M). This coated carbide formulation reduces the tendency for built‑up edge and preserves the cutting geometry under elevated temperatures. The result is a consistent surface finish and fewer tool changes, which supports longer uninterrupted machine cycles and improved shop‑floor productivity.

Reliable chip control that reduces rework

Equipped with the IR18UN‑F5 chipbreaker, the insert promotes short, controllable chips that evacuate cleanly from the cutting zone. Good chip control lowers the risk of surface damage and minimises manual intervention, leading to faster cycle times and less downtime for cleaning or rework. In practical terms, predictable chip formation simplifies process planning and contributes directly to higher first‑piece quality and lower scrap rates.

Straightforward selection and productive integration

Designed for turning operations in the M material class, the insert fits standard indexable toolholders and is suitable for medium to robust cutting conditions where process stability is critical. The WMP32G grade offers a balance of toughness and wear resistance, making it an economical choice across a broad range of stainless‑steel alloys. For customers seeking reliable cutting data and optimisation tips, the insert’s specification supports quick integration into existing production chains while improving overall machining reliability.
