TS16-IR2.0ISO WMP22G indexable turning insert by Walter Tools — Tiger·tec Gold for stainless steel

The TS16-IR2.0ISO WMP22G is an indexable turning insert engineered to deliver reliable performance when machining stainless steels under medium to robust cutting conditions.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended tool life
• WMP22G grade optimised for stainless steel
• IR2.0ISO chipbreaker for secure chip control
• Consistent edge stability under robust conditions

Faster, more reliable turning of stainless steels

The insert is based on the WMP22G grade and the Tiger·tec Gold coating, a combination designed to reduce wear and maintain cutting performance in demanding environments. Coated carbide construction brings thermal resistance and toughness, which means fewer tool changes and longer intervals between regrinds. For machining ISO group M materials — commonly known as stainless steel — this results in more predictable cycle times and reduced downtime. The design supports stable chip formation, which helps to avoid built-up edge and irregular surface finish.

Secure chip control and repeatable edge performance

Equipped with the IR2.0ISO chipbreaker, the insert provides consistent chip shaping that improves evacuation and reduces the risk of entanglement. The geometrical solution of the chipbreaker, together with the coating, enhances chip control and contributes to edge stability even when conditions become challenging. This promotes process security and allows production planners to rely on repeatable part quality without frequent adjustments. The result is a calmer machining process and fewer scrapped parts.

Practical benefits for the workshop and machining process

The grade and chip geometry were chosen to balance toughness and wear resistance for medium to robust applications. In practice, this means improved surface integrity on turned components and more efficient material removal rates where stainless steels tend to work-harden. The insert’s characteristics support cost-effective production through extended life and predictable performance metrics. As a component of a coherent tooling strategy, the insert helps to streamline tool inventory and standardise setups across similar turning operations.
