TS16-IR24UN WMP22G indexable turning insert for stainless steels — Tiger·tec Gold by Walter Tools

The TS16-IR24UN WMP22G is an indexable turning insert engineered for machining stainless steels under medium to robust conditions, offering a balance of wear resistance and secure chip formation for industrial turning operations.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for enhanced wear resistance
• IR24UN chipbreaker for stable chip control
• Designed for stainless-steel applications

Maximise process reliability when turning stainless steels

The Tiger·tec Gold grade WMP22G combines a coated carbide body with a surface engineering designed to reduce adhesive wear and thermal softening when machining stainless steels. The IR24UN chipbreaker promotes consistent chip control, limiting built-up edge and helping to maintain a stable cutting edge even when machining materials that generate high temperatures and tend to work-harden. For production environments this means fewer unscheduled tool changes, more predictable component tolerances and a measurable improvement in process repeatability. The insert’s geometry supports secure seating in standard toolholders and contributes to uniform cutting behaviour across multiple indexings.

Consistent performance that enhances productivity and finish

Built for productive turning, the insert delivers stable chip formation and extended tool life under moderate to demanding conditions. The tailored coating of the Tiger·tec Gold series reduces friction at the cutting zone, which contributes to improved surface finish and less thermal load on the workpiece. In practice, the combination of grade and chipbreaker reduces downtime and increases component throughput by maintaining cutting performance across several edges. The TS16-IR24UN WMP22G is therefore particularly suitable where consistent part quality and repeatability are priorities.

Practical guidance for workshop integration and material coverage

Classified for ISO material group M, this insert is intended for stainless-steel applications (ISO 513) and is effective where materials exhibit toughness, high work-hardening tendency and elevated cutting temperatures. The IR24UN geometry assists in forming short to medium chips, which simplifies chip evacuation and reduces the risk of entanglement in multi-pass operations. For users integrating this grade into existing processes, modest adjustments to feed and coolant strategy typically suffice to exploit the insert’s edge stability and to secure the expected balance of life and finish. For machining scenarios that require fine-tuning, Metav Werkzeuge provides application advice to align tool choice with specific machine and workpiece conditions.
