TS16-IR2.5ISO WMP22G indexable insert by Walter Tools — Tiger·tec Gold, for stainless steel

TS16-IR2.5ISO WMP22G is an indexable turning insert designed for secure chip control and high process reliability in the machining of stainless steels

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for long tool life
• IR2.5ISO chipbreaker for stable chip control
• Suited for stainless steel machining (ISO M)
• Coated cemented-carbide grade WMP22G

Consistent chip control enhances process reliability

The insert combines the IR2.5ISO chipbreaker with the WMP22G cemented-carbide grade to support stable chip formation when machining stainless steels. Stainless materials tend to cling and produce built-up edge; the geometry and chip control of this insert reduce those risks, which in turn lowers the probability of unexpected downtime. The Tiger·tec Gold coating improves wear resistance and contributes to consistent cutting behaviour under medium to robust cutting conditions.

Improved surface quality and extended cutting intervals

A robust grade and advanced coating translate into fewer interruptions for tool changes and a steadier surface finish on the workpiece. The coated cemented-carbide composition resists thermal softening and flank wear, helping to maintain a sharp cutting edge over longer cycles. This insert therefore supports a favourable cost-in-use ratio by combining durability with predictable performance, especially in series production where repeatability matters.

Clear suitability for stainless steel applications

Marked by the material group M, the design and grade target the typical challenges of stainless steel: high ductility, heat generation and the tendency for smearing. The combination of geometry and coating encourages secure chip evacuation and reduces the risk of built-up edge, which benefits part tolerances and reduces rework. For workshop planners and process engineers, the insert is a practical choice where reliable finishing and intermediate turning of stainless components are required.

Application guidance and process alignment

For best results, pair the insert with tooling and feeds optimised for stainless processing; stable clamping and controlled depth of cut will further enhance flank life and surface consistency. If process adjustments are needed, Metav Werkzeuge can provide application-oriented advice and recommend suitable holders and cutting conditions to match production goals. The overall design supports a productive machining strategy without sacrificing component quality.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The insert is intended for stainless steel applications (material group M); the WMP22G grade and IR2.5ISO chipbreaker are optimised for these materials.

How does the Tiger·tec Gold series benefit machining performance?
The Tiger·tec Gold coating improves wear resistance and thermal stability, which extends cutting intervals and contributes to consistent part quality when using the TS16-IR2.5ISO WMP22G insert.

Is the insert suitable for heavy-duty turning or finishing passes?
The insert is specified for medium to robust conditions on stainless steel; its geometry and grade support both stable roughing and reliable finishing under appropriate parameters.

Which feature reduces the risk of built-up edge during turning?
The IR2.5ISO chipbreaker combined with the coated grade promotes secure chip evacuation and reduces the tendency for built-up edge on stainless steel workpieces.

Can this insert be used for high-temperature cutting applications?
The coated cemented-carbide construction of the TS16-IR2.5ISO WMP22G supports thermal resistance in stainless steel machining, helping to maintain edge stability under elevated cutting temperatures.
