WNMG080408-MM5 WSM30S — Indexable Turning Insert, Tiger‑tec Silver, for stainless steel & superalloys (Walter Tools)

The WNMG080408-MM5 WSM30S is a Trigon 80° indexable turning insert engineered for reliable performance in stainless steel and heat‑resistant superalloys, combining a coated cemented‑carbide grade with a stable cutting geometry for demanding turning tasks.

• Tiger‑tec Silver coating for thermal stability
• Trigon 80° form with 0.8 mm corner radius
• Negative 0° rake for secure edge support
• Optimised for stainless steel and superalloys

High thermal resistance for consistent cutting results

The coated cemented‑carbide grade WSM30S, part of the Tiger‑tec Silver series, provides enhanced heat resistance and wear protection during long turning cycles. This combination reduces flank wear and supports more predictable tool life, which in turn leads to improved process stability and lower setup frequency. The integrated MM5 chipbreaker aids controlled chip formation, reducing the risk of built‑up edge and protecting the cutting edge under intermittent or high heat conditions.

Geometry that prioritises edge strength and surface quality

The Trigon 80° form with a 0.8 mm corner radius and a negative 0° free angle gives a secure cutting edge that resists chipping when facing the challenges of tough materials. The form also balances cutting forces to maintain dimensional accuracy and surface finish, so less rework is needed. Where edge robustness is essential, the geometry supports heavier cuts without sacrificing component tolerances or surface integrity.

Designed for demanding materials and process security

This insert is specified for material groups M and S: M for stainless steel and S for heat‑resistant superalloys and titanium. These materials demand a grade that tolerates high temperatures and poor thermal conductivity; WSM30S is tuned to those demands, offering stable chip control and consistent edge behaviour. The result is a more reliable production flow when machining reactive or work‑hardening alloys, with fewer unscheduled tool changes.

Productivity and inventory advantages in production environments

Using this grade and geometry reduces tool change frequency and simplifies inventory by covering both stainless and high‑temperature alloys in one specification. The insert’s balance of wear resistance and edge security supports longer tool life and predictable replacement intervals, contributing to lower total machining costs and improved throughput. Backing from a recognised supplier such as Walter Tools adds an extra layer of confidence in repeatability and quality.

FAQ

What materials are best machined with this insert?
The WNMG080408-MM5 WSM30S is designed primarily for stainless steel (material group M) and heat‑resistant superalloys / titanium (group S), offering good chip control and thermal resistance for these challenging materials.

How does the Tiger‑tec Silver coating benefit tool life?
The Tiger‑tec Silver coating on the WSM30S grade increases heat resistance and reduces abrasive wear, which extends tool life and maintains cutting edge integrity under elevated temperatures.

Which chipbreaker is integrated and what is its effect?
This insert features the MM5 chipbreaker, which promotes controlled chip formation and reduces the likelihood of built‑up edge, improving surface finish and process reliability during turning.

Is the Trigon 80° form suitable for heavy cuts?
The Trigon 80° geometry with a 0.8 mm corner radius and negative free angle offers enhanced edge strength, making it suitable for more robust cutting conditions while preserving dimensional stability.
