Walter launches new Tiger-tec^® Gold turning grades for hard steels

Walter is launching two high-performance cutting tool materials, WKP01G and WPP05G, which reduce machining time by 20-30%.

Walter Tiger·tec^® Gold WKP01G and WPP05G grades

WKP01G has been specially developed for finishing high tensile steels and cast iron (GGG/GG) at the maximum cutting speed and is the only one of its kind on the market designed specifically for this purpose. The optimised cutting edge rounding of the turning inserts improves the surface quality on the workpiece, while their multi-stage post-treatment produces an extremely smooth rake face which significantly reduces friction. The WPP05G grade is designed for medium machining and roughing of steels at the maximum cutting speed. Both cutting tool materials are ideal for finish cuts and occasional interrupted cuts in high tensile materials (900–1400 N/mm²).

The main USP of the inserts is their coating with the patented Tiger·tec^® Gold technology. This fine-columnar, highly textured MT-TiCN multi-layer coating increases toughness and resistance to flank face and crater wear. As a result, the grades make it possible to increase the machining speed and the associated productivity by between 20 and 30% compared to standard ISO P10 grades.

Walter offers the new grades in around 130 versions with 11 different geometries. Application ranges include high-volume and mass production in the automotive or energy industries (for example gearbox components, gears, rotor hubs), general mechanical engineering (for example forged shafts) or the rail industry (for example wheel sets).
