TS16-IR18UN WMP22G indexable turning insert — Tiger·tec Gold coating, for rostfreier Stahl (Walter Tools)

The TS16-IR18UN WMP22G is an indexable turning insert engineered for demanding machining of rostfreier Stahl, offering a coated carbide grade and a dedicated chipbreaker for consistent chip control and extended tool life.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide
• Optimised for rostfreier Stahl (M)
• IR18UN chipbreaker for stable chips
• Walter Tools quality and repeatability

Proven process reliability through coating and grade

The combination of Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WMP22G grade provides a robust wear resistance profile that supports a stable cutting edge under the thermal and mechanical loads typical of rostfreier Stahl. The coated carbide substrate helps to reduce flank wear and adhesion, which in turn extends service intervals and lowers tool change frequency. For production environments where reproducible results are required, this insert reduces downtime and contributes to consistent component quality, making the process more predictable and cost-effective.

Consistent chip control and better surface integrity

Rostfreier Stahl tends to produce long, ductile chips and is prone to built-up edge formation; the IR18UN chipbreaker is designed to fragment and evacuate chips effectively, maintaining a clean cutting zone. Improved chip control reduces the risk of workpiece damage and supports improved surface finish with fewer rework cycles. The indexed geometry of the insert allows multiple cutting edges to be used before replacement, supporting steady throughput and reliable part presentation in automated turning operations.

Productivity gains with predictable tool life

Designed for medium to robust cutting conditions, the grade delivers a balance between wear resistance and toughness that supports higher cutting parameters where appropriate. This makes it easier to plan machining cycles and calculate cost-per-part with greater confidence. The result is higher productivity per toolholder and fewer unplanned interruptions. Selection of the correct feed and speed, guided by the grade characteristics, will typically improve cycle times while keeping tool consumption under control.

Practical integration and handling for the workshop

The insert fits standard turning toolholders and is compatible with established tool management routines. Indexing is straightforward, and workpiece-oriented tooling setups will benefit from the insert’s repeatable seating and edge security. For specification checks, clamping recommendations or optimisation for specific rostfreier Stahl grades, technical consultation is available to align tooling decisions with process targets. Recommended storage and handling prevent edge damage and ensure the insert performs to specification across its service life.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The TS16-IR18UN WMP22G insert is optimised for rostfreier Stahl (material group M) and provides controlled chip formation and wear resistance for those applications.

How does the IR18UN chipbreaker improve machining?
The IR18UN chipbreaker reduces long, stringy chips typical of rostfreier Stahl, improving chip evacuation and helping to maintain a stable cutting edge for consistent surface finish.

Is the insert compatible with standard toolholders?
Yes, the indexable design is compatible with common turning toolholders; ensure the seat and clamping torque conform to the holder manufacturer’s instructions.

What benefits does the Tiger·tec Gold coating bring?
The Tiger·tec Gold coating increases thermal and abrasive resistance, supporting longer edge life and more predictable performance under variable cutting conditions.

How often should the insert be indexed or replaced?
Indexing intervals depend on cutting parameters and workpiece alloy; monitoring part finish and tool wear will indicate the optimal change points for consistent quality.
