TS22-ER3.5ISO WMP32G indexable turning insert – Walter Tools, for stainless steel machining

The TS22-ER3.5ISO WMP32G is an indexable turning insert engineered for machining stainless steel under medium to robust cutting conditions, combining Tiger·tec Gold coating technology with an ER3.5ISO chipbreaker for secure chip formation.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for extended tool life
• WMP32G grade optimised for stainless steel
• ER3.5ISO chipbreaker for stable chip control

High-performance machining for demanding stainless applications

The insert is built on a coated carbide substrate and the Tiger·tec Gold technology, delivering higher wear resistance and thermal stability compared with uncoated alternatives. This results in a stable cutting edge that tolerates the adhesive tendencies and heat generation typical of stainless steel. The combination of grade and coating supports longer tool life under interrupted or continuous cuts, reducing the frequency of insert changes and contributing to more predictable machining cycles. The engineered surface finish of the coating also assists in lowering friction at the cutting zone, which can improve surface quality while maintaining cutting efficiency.

Predictable process reliability and productivity gains

By pairing the WMP32G grade with an ER3.5ISO chipbreaker, the insert provides controlled chip formation and evacuation, which decreases risk of built-up edge and workpiece damage. Stable chip behaviour shortens machine idle time and simplifies chip handling in automated cells, improving overall process reliability. For production planners, the technical benefit translates into higher uptime and better reproducibility: fewer stoppages for insert changes and steadier cycle times. The result is a measurable uplift in productivity and a favourable cost-in-use profile for series production of corrosion-resistant alloys.

Material suitability and recommended cutting conditions

The insert is specified for the ISO material group M (stainless steel), designed to manage the typical challenges of these alloys—toughness, tendency to gall and heat concentration. The WMP32G grade is optimised for medium to robust conditions, making it suitable for parts that require a balance between aggressive material removal and surface integrity. The ER3.5ISO chipbreaker is tailored to produce short, controllable chips in a broad range of feeds and depths, reducing secondary operations and improving operator safety. Where finishes or tight tolerances are required, the improved edge stability helps maintain dimensional accuracy over extended tool life.

FAQ

What materials is this insert designed for?
The TS22-ER3.5ISO WMP32G insert is designed primarily for ISO group M, i.e. stainless steel, and performs best in medium to robust machining conditions.

How does the Tiger·tec Gold coating improve performance?
Tiger·tec Gold on the WMP32G grade increases wear resistance and thermal stability, helping the insert maintain a stable cutting edge and longer life in demanding stainless-steel operations.

What benefit does the ER3.5ISO chipbreaker provide?
The ER3.5ISO chipbreaker produces controlled, short chips that improve chip evacuation and reduce the risk of built-up edge, supporting safer and more predictable machining cycles with the Walter Tools insert.

Can the insert be used for finishing as well as roughing?
The WMP32G grade and ER3.5ISO geometry suit a range of conditions; they are particularly effective where a balance between material removal and surface quality is required, though final selection depends on specific feed and speed parameters.
