TS22-ER12UN-2 WMP32G indexable turning insert (for stainless steel) — Walter Tools

The TS22-ER12UN-2 WMP32G is an indexable turning insert engineered for productive machining of stainless steel, optimised for medium to robust cutting conditions and reliable chip control.

• Tiger‑tec Gold coating for extended tool life
• WMP32G coated carbide for stainless steel machining
• Supports stable chip formation under robust loads
• Consistent edge stability for repeatable results

Higher process reliability thanks to premium coating

The Tiger·tec Gold technology combines a coated carbide substrate with a layered coating system that reduces flank wear and increases heat resistance. This results in longer intervals between indexings and fewer unplanned tool changes, which directly improves machine uptime. For components in the M group (stainless steels), the WMP32G grade supports secure cutting performance by resisting common issues such as work hardening and rapid edge degradation. The practical outcome is fewer rejects and more stable machining cycles.

Better chip control for demanding stainless steel turning

Stainless steels tend to produce long, plastic chips and generate heat at the cutting zone; the ER12UN-2 chipbreaker is designed to produce short, controllable chips and to reduce the risk of built‑up edge. Stable chip formation minimises surface damage and eases chip evacuation from the tool zone, which is particularly valuable when working in confined setups or when using higher depth of cut. The result is a more consistent surface finish and less manual intervention during production runs.

Productivity gains through repeatable cutting performance

An indexable approach with a reliable grade like WMP32G lowers tooling costs per part by extending effective insert life while maintaining dimensional accuracy. The insert’s balanced combination of toughness and wear resistance supports consistent edge integrity under heavier feeds or interrupted cuts, enabling higher average output without sacrificing component quality. For production environments that prioritise predictable cycles and reduced setup time, this insert contributes directly to cost‑effective machining.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The TS22-ER12UN-2 WMP32G insert is intended primarily for stainless steel (ISO M group) machining where toughness and heat generation require a robust coated grade.

How does the Tiger·tec Gold coating benefit production?
The Tiger·tec Gold coating on the WMP32G grade enhances heat resistance and reduces flank wear, which extends effective insert life and supports more stable production cycles.

What is the role of the ER12UN-2 chipbreaker?
The ER12UN-2 chipbreaker promotes short, controllable chips and reduces the risk of built‑up edge, improving surface finish and facilitating safer chip evacuation in turning operations.

Is this insert suitable for interrupted cuts or heavier feeds?
Yes; the WMP32G coated carbide grade is engineered to maintain edge stability under medium to robust conditions, making it suitable for interrupted cuts and higher workload situations.

How should one select cutting parameters for this insert?
Selection of cutting data depends on the machine, workholding and stainless steel grade; for optimal results with the TS22-ER12UN-2 WMP32G, consult the tooling data sheets or contact Metav Werkzeuge for application‑specific recommendations.
