TS16-IR28UN WMP32G – Indexable turning insert, IR28UN chipbreaker, Tiger·tec Gold (Walter Tools)

The TS16-IR28UN WMP32G is a coated carbide indexable turning insert designed for machining stainless steels under medium to robust cutting conditions, offering reliable chip control and long tool life.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended tool life
• Optimised IR28UN chipbreaker for stainless steels
• Coated carbide grade WMP32G for stable cutting
• Designed for medium to heavy‑duty turning

Reliable edge performance for stainless‑steel turning

The combination of WMP32G grade and Tiger·tec Gold coating delivers a wear‑resistant cutting edge tailored to the demands of stainless steels, which often generate heat and tend to work‑harden. The coated carbides reduce flank wear and delay notch formation, so the insert sustains productive cutting intervals. This behaviour translates into more predictable tool life and fewer interruptions for index changes, supporting higher process efficiency and consistent component tolerances.

Controlled chips and improved surface quality

The IR28UN chipbreaker is optimised for the chip form typical of austenitic and other stainless steels; it promotes stable chip formation and reduces the risk of built‑up edge. Improved chip control lowers rework and assists in maintaining toolholder clearance and coolant paths. As a consequence, achievable surface finishes are enhanced and downstream cleaning/handling is simplified, which benefits cycle time and reduces quality rejects in serial production.

Practical benefits for workshop efficiency

As an indexable turning insert, this product supports fast tool replacement and economical use of cutting edges. The coated carbide construction minimises maintenance effort and helps maintain cutting performance over successive edge changes. Integration into existing tool systems is straightforward when matched with suitable holders for TS16 geometry; the result is reduced machine downtime and a more efficient production flow.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for machining stainless steels?
Yes. The TS16-IR28UN WMP32G insert is specifically formulated for stainless steels (material group M) and its Tiger·tec Gold coating and IR28UN chipbreaker support reliable chip control under such conditions.

What advantages does the WMP32G grade provide?
The WMP32G grade is a coated carbide designed to improve wear resistance and maintain a stable cutting edge during the machining of stainless steel, which helps reduce downtime and maintain component quality.

How does the IR28UN chipbreaker affect performance?
The IR28UN geometry is optimised to produce compact, controllable chips when turning stainless steel. This reduces the likelihood of built‑up edge and contributes to better surface finishes and consistent process behaviour.

Can the insert be used for heavy machining?
The insert is engineered for medium to robust turning applications; in appropriate toolholder setups it supports heavier cuts while maintaining edge stability thanks to the coated carbide grade and the Tiger·tec Gold technology.

Which product identifier should be quoted when enquiring?
Please quote the SKU TS16-IR28UN-WMP32G-WALTER and the designation TS16-IR28UN WMP32G when requesting technical details or compatibility information.
