WNMG080404-MM5 WSM30S turning insert — Trigon 80° geometry, Tiger·tec Silver by Walter Tools

A WNMG080404-MM5 WSM30S is a coated carbide turning insert with negative rake and a specialised chipbreaker, designed for heavy-duty turning of stainless steels and heat‑resistant superalloys.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for long edge life
• WSM30S grade for stainless and superalloys
• Trigon 80° geometry with 0.4 mm corner radius
• 0° negative rake with MM5 chipbreaker

Consistent machining performance for demanding alloys

The combination of the Tiger·tec Silver coating and the WSM30S grade delivers improved thermal resistance and edge stability where conventional grades struggle. This results in more consistent tool life when machining materials that generate heat and tend to work‑harden, such as rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys. The coated hardmetal construction reduces edge wear and supports secure chip formation, which in turn helps maintain cycle times and reduces unexpected interruptions in production.

Geometry and chip control that improve process reliability

The trigon 80° geometry and 0.4 mm corner radius give the insert robust engagement and repeatable strength at the cutting edge, while the MM5 chipbreaker is tuned to promote short, controllable chips in interrupted and continuous cuts. The negative 0° rake contributes to a stable cutting edge under heavy radial loads, making this insert suitable for tougher turning tasks. These design choices reduce the risk of built‑up edge and contribute to predictable component quality.

Application guidance and integration into production

Designed for use in operations that require dependable performance with rostfreier Stahl and superalloys, this insert is compatible with standard WNMG toolholders and clamping systems. Selection of cutting parameters should reflect the workpiece material and machine rigidity: the grade prioritises thermal and edge stability over aggressive higher‑speed finishing. For process adaptation, the insert’s coating and chipbreaker support a balance between cutting speed and tool life, enabling efficient production planning and reduced tooling overhead.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The WNMG080404-MM5 WSM30S insert is designed for rostfreie Stähle and heat‑resistant superalloys (material groups M and S), leveraging the Tiger·tec Silver coating and WSM30S grade for thermal and edge stability.

How does the MM5 chipbreaker affect machining?
The MM5 chipbreaker promotes short, controlled chips and helps maintain a stable cutting process, reducing the risk of long stringy chips and improving surface consistency when using the WNMG080404-MM5 WSM30S.

Is this geometry suitable for heavy roughing cuts?
Yes; the Trigon 80° form, 0.4 mm corner radius and 0° negative relief angle provide robust edge strength and are appropriate for heavy engagement and interrupted cuts in demanding materials.

Can the insert be used in standard WNMG toolholders?
The WNMG080404-MM5 WSM30S follows the WNMG ISO designation and fits standard WNMG toolholders; correct clamping and seat condition are essential for repeatable performance.

What benefit does the Tiger·tec Silver coating provide?
Tiger·tec Silver enhances heat resistance and wear properties of the coated hardmetal, extending edge life and supporting consistent machining in high‑temperature applications.
