TS22-IR4.0TR WMP32G indexable turning insert — Tiger·tec Gold, IR4.0TR chipbreaker (Walter Tools)

The TS22-IR4.0TR WMP32G is an indexable turning insert designed for demanding stainless steel turning where consistent edge stability and secure chip formation are required.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating for improved wear resistance
• WMP32G grade for stainless steel machining
• IR4.0TR chipbreaker for reliable chip control
• Consistent edge life for medium to heavy cuts

Precise wear management for stainless steel turning

Turning stainless steel presents specific challenges such as work hardening and built-up edge; the combination of the Tiger·tec Gold coating and the WMP32G coated carbide grade reduces flank and crater wear, which translates into fewer indexings and longer uninterrupted production runs. The coating technology enhances heat resistance and adhesion properties at the cutting edge, so the insert sustains cutting performance under elevated temperatures. This results in a tangible improvement in process reliability and cycle stability for serial machining operations.

Secure chip control that stabilises cycle times

The integrated IR4.0TR chipbreaker is engineered to produce predictable, controllable chip forms in medium to robust cutting conditions. Improved chip control reduces the risk of chip entanglement, minimises secondary operations for chip clearing and helps maintain a consistent surface finish on the workpiece. For production environments where repeatability matters, the chipbreaker supports steady material evacuation and lowers the likelihood of unplanned stoppages, ultimately contributing to higher overall equipment effectiveness.

Productivity advantages through predictable tool life

By combining a modern coated carbide grade with an optimised chipbreaker geometry, the insert delivers a favourable balance between tool life and cutting performance. The result is a more economical machining process: fewer tool exchanges, reduced setup interruptions and more predictable maintenance intervals. For plants processing stainless steel in batches or continuous shifts, this predictability supports capacity planning and reduces throughput variability while maintaining part quality.

FAQ

What steels is this insert designed for?
The TS22-IR4.0TR WMP32G indexable turning insert from Walter Tools is designed primarily for stainless steel (ISO group M) and performs well under medium to robust cutting conditions.

How does the Tiger·tec Gold technology help in practice?
Tiger·tec Gold coating on the WMP32G grade improves heat resistance and wear behaviour, so the insert maintains a stable cutting edge longer when machining stainless steel with frequent heat build-up.

Which chip shape can be expected with the IR4.0TR breaker?
The IR4.0TR chipbreaker is engineered to provide controllable, compact chips in turning operations, supporting cleaner evacuation and reduced machine downtime when using the TS22-IR4.0TR WMP32G insert.

Is this insert suitable for heavy interrupted cuts?
The WMP32G grade in the Tiger·tec Gold series is specified for medium to robust applications; for heavy interrupted cuts, the TS22-IR4.0TR WMP32G offers improved edge stability compared with conventional grades, but final suitability depends on the exact machining scenario and should be validated in-process.

Can the insert's performance be optimised for a specific stainless steel grade?
Yes, cutting data and feed parameters can be adjusted to the specific stainless steel grade; the TS22-IR4.0TR WMP32G is intended to provide a balance of wear resistance and chip control, and Walter Tools data sheets or Metav Werkzeuge consultants can recommend process parameters.
