TS22-IR12UN-3 WMP32G turning insert for stainless steel machining — Walter Tools

A Walter Tools TS22-IR12UN-3 WMP32G indexable turning insert engineered for safe chip formation and dependable performance when machining stainless steels under medium to robust cutting conditions.

• Tiger·tec Gold coated carbide for long tool life
• WMP32G grade for stainless steel machining
• IR12UN-3 chipbreaker for stable chip formation
• Consistent edge security under medium to robust loads

Greater process reliability for stainless steel turning

The combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WMP32G grade targets the typical challenges of machining stainless steel: high ductility, tendency to form built-up edge and elevated heat generation. The coating, which is a multilayer PVD/CVD-style technology, reduces adhesion and flank wear while enhancing thermal resistance; as a result, edge security is improved and interruptions due to edge degradation are reduced. This leads to more predictable cycle times and fewer unplanned tool changes, which supports continuous, economic production.

Durable cutting performance from coated carbide technology

A coated hardmetal substrate forms the basis of this indexable insert, providing a robust cutting edge that is resistant to chipping under moderate to heavy engagement. The surface treatment, designed for repetitive and demanding applications, stabilises the micro-geometry of the cutting edge and improves wear resistance. When feed rates and depths of cut fluctuate in batch or one-off production, the coated substrate maintains tolerable wear progression, which preserves dimensional repeatability and reduces scrap rates in serial turning operations.

Controlled chips and improved surface quality with targeted chipbreaker design

The IR12UN-3 chipbreaker is designed to promote short, segmented chips when machining materials classified in ISO 513 group M. By shaping the shear behaviour at the cutting zone, the chipbreaker supports stable evacuation and prevents long, entangling swarf that can compromise both tool life and component finish. The result is an improved, consistent surface quality with fewer manual interventions for chip clearing, which benefits automated turning cells and manual lathes alike.

Practical selection and integration into tool systems

When selecting an indexable insert for a turning application, matching the grade and chipbreaker to the workpiece material is essential; the WMP32G grade is specifically tailored for stainless steel under medium to robust conditions. The insert is suitable for standard turning toolholders that accept the TS22 geometry; toolset planners will find it useful where a balance of process reliability and economical tool life is required. For precise parameter windows and holder compatibility, technical advice from Metav Werkzeuge is available to ensure correct integration and optimise cutting data for the production environment.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The TS22-IR12UN-3 WMP32G insert is specified for stainless steel applications (ISO group M) and is engineered to handle the ductility and heat characteristics typical of these alloys.

How does the Tiger·tec Gold coating benefit performance?
The Tiger·tec Gold coating on the WMP32G grade reduces adhesion and improves thermal resistance, which enhances tool life and supports consistent cutting performance during extended stainless steel turning operations.

What is the function of the IR12UN-3 chipbreaker?
The IR12UN-3 chipbreaker promotes controlled, short chip formation to aid evacuation and protect the cutting edge, leading to more reliable surface finishes and fewer machine stoppages for chip clearing when using this insert.

Is this insert compatible with standard TS22 toolholders?
Yes, the TS22 geometry matches standard toolholder interfaces designed for that designation; ensure the holder supports the insert's profile and clamping method for secure operation.

Where can cutting data and selection guidance be obtained?
Cutting data and application-specific guidance for the TS22-IR12UN-3 WMP32G insert are available from Metav Werkzeuge; their technical advisors can recommend feeds, speeds and holder choices for the intended production setup.
