ZDGT150430R-K85 WXN15 milling indexable insert — Walter Tools, uncoated carbide for non‑ferrous metals, 15° free angle

The ZDGT150430R-K85 WXN15 is a milling indexable insert engineered for sharp, uncoated cutting in non‑ferrous materials such as aluminium, copper and brass, optimised for reduced material adhesion and consistent chip control.

• Uncoated carbide WXN15 for NE‑metals
• 15° relief angle for reduced adhesion
• 3 mm corner radius for robust edges

Improved machining of non‑ferrous metals with reduced adhesion

The WXN15 grade is an uncoated carbide specifically formulated for non‑ferrous applications (material group N). Its sharp cutting geometry and low‑friction characteristics reduce built‑up material on the cutting edge, which delivers cleaner cuts and fewer interruptions in production. For processes that require consistent surface appearance on aluminium and brass, the insert’s geometry helps to maintain stable chip formation and prevents smearing or galling that can occur with less suitable grades.

Predictable tool life through defined geometry and robust edges

A 15° relief angle and a 3 mm corner radius provide a balance between sharpness and edge strength. The relief angle supports low cutting forces and limits material adhesion, while the corner radius contributes to edge robustness and repeatable wear behaviour. This combination is suited to serial milling tasks where repeatability is essential and tool changes must be predictable, helping to reduce downtime and improve process efficiency.

System compatibility and economical use in production

Part of the Walter N‑Sortensystem, the insert fits established milling tool platforms and benefits from consistent grade selection across a family of operations. The K85 chipbreaker geometry supports stable chip evacuation in non‑ferrous metals, improving surface finish and cycle consistency. Using this insert in a coordinated tooling system reduces setup time and inventory complexity, delivering pragmatic cost efficiency for shops focused on productive machining of NE‑materials.

FAQ

What materials are best suited for this insert?
The ZDGT150430R‑K85 WXN15 insert (Walter Tools milling indexable insert) is intended for non‑ferrous metals — aluminium, copper and brass are specifically targeted by the WXN15 grade.

Is the grade coated or uncoated?
The WXN15 grade used in this insert is uncoated carbide, optimised for sharp edges and reduced material build‑up in NE‑materials.

What does the K85 chipbreaker offer?
The K85 chipbreaker on the insert supports controlled chip formation and evacuation when machining non‑ferrous metals, improving surface finish and process stability with the ZDGT150430R‑K85 WXN15.

How does the 15° relief angle affect machining?
A 15° relief angle lowers the tendency for material adhesion at the flank and reduces cutting forces in soft, ductile materials, which benefits surface quality and tool life when using this milling insert.
