TS16-IR18UN WMP32G indexable turning insert – Tiger‑tec Gold, for stainless steels (Walter Tools)

TS16-IR18UN WMP32G is a coated indexable turning insert designed for reliable performance when machining stainless steels in medium to robust conditions

• Tiger‑tec Gold coated grade WMP32G
• Optimised chip control IR18UN
• Suitable for stainless steels (ISO group M)

Predictable performance for stainless steel turning

The combination of the WMP32G cutting grade and Tiger‑tec Gold coating gives a dependable solution for turning stainless steels. This indexable turning insert is a coated carbide design aimed at countering the typical challenges of these alloys—toughness, built‑up edge and elevated cutting temperatures. The result is stable chip formation and consistent cutting behaviour that supports repeatable process parameters and lowers the risk of unexpected tool failures.

Longer cutting edge life and consistent surface quality

Built to deliver edge stability under medium to robust cutting conditions, this insert extends productive tool life while maintaining finish quality. The specified IR18UN chipbreaker helps to control chip shape and evacuation, reducing interruptions for manual clearing and minimising surface defects. For production environments this translates into fewer tool changes and increased productivity, with predictable wear patterns that simplify tool management.

Practical application and machining benefits

The insert is particularly suitable where turning of stainless steels is required and where process reliability matters. Its coated carbide construction and geometry make it a strong candidate for operations that demand steady metal removal rates and good chip control. Metav Werkzeuge’s technical team can advise on optimal cutting data for the material and machine in use to exploit the insert’s advantages in cycle time and surface consistency.
