ZDGT150416R-K85 WXN15 indexable milling insert for non‑ferrous metals — Walter Tools, K85 chipbreaker, 15° clearance

The ZDGT150416R-K85 WXN15 is an indexable milling insert engineered for efficient machining of non‑ferrous metals such as aluminium, copper and brass, providing controlled chip formation and reliable edge performance.

• Sharp uncoated carbide grade WXN15
• Optimised K85 chipbreaker for neat chips
• 15° clearance angle for reduced rubbing
• 1.6 mm corner radius for robust edges

Faster, cleaner results on non‑ferrous materials

The combination of the WXN15 uncoated carbide grade and the K85 chipbreaker is tailored for machining non‑ferrous metals, delivering a sharp cutting edge and reduced built‑up edge tendency. The insert geometry promotes predictable chip separation, which lowers rework and machine idle time. For manufacturing environments focused on throughput, this geometry supports stable cutting conditions and consistent surface quality, translating into measurable productivity gains and fewer interruptions for manual chip removal.

Durable edges and process stability for series production

A 1.6 mm corner radius and tolerance class G provide a balance between edge strength and finish capability, making the insert suitable for both light‑duty facing and more demanding peripheral passes. The 15° clearance minimises flank contact and heat generation at the cutting zone, which contributes to longer edge life and reduced tool change frequency. In practice, this means more reliable cycles and less variation between parts — a direct benefit for batch production and tight tolerance requirements under continuous operation.

Practical application advice and compatibility

Designed within the Walter N‑Sortensystem, this insert is optimised for sharp, uncoated performance on aluminium, copper and brass alloys where adhesion and gummy chips can be an issue. The sharp geometry helps avoid material sticking while the chipbreaker controls chip shape and evacuation. For best results, pair the insert with appropriately rigid tooling and moderate feed rates to exploit the cutting edge without inducing vibration; the insert’s features support improved surface finish and easier downstream handling of chips.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert intended for?
The ZDGT150416R-K85 WXN15 insert is intended for non‑ferrous metals such as aluminium, copper and brass, as indicated by the WXN15 grade and the designation for ISO group N.

What benefit does the K85 chipbreaker provide?
The K85 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation, reducing the risk of long, tangled chips and improving process stability when machining soft, adhesive materials.

How does the 15° clearance angle affect machining?
A 15° clearance reduces flank rubbing and heat buildup at the cutting edge, which helps to prolong edge life and maintain consistent surface finish during longer runs.

Is the insert coated?
No, the WXN15 grade used in this insert is an uncoated carbide formulation, selected for sharp cutting performance and minimised material adhesion on non‑ferrous alloys.

What role does the 1.6 mm corner radius play?
The 1.6 mm corner radius provides a compromise between edge strength and finish quality, offering improved tool robustness for intermittent cuts while still enabling good surface results.
