New Silver WPP05S Cutting Tool Grade
August 1, 2015
Indexable insert with the new Walter high-performance cutting material WPP05S.
The Walter Tigerátec Silver WPP05S is a wear-resistant indexable insert grade designed to deliver high performance and productivity in steel machining (ISO P), particularly in roughing forged components and long production runs. "This is made possible, in part, by the insert's thicker Tigerátec Silver coating with its optimized aluminum oxide microstructure, and its post-coating treatment that provides greater reliability, increased toughness and reduced downtime to chipping, especially in high-volume production," said a company spokesperson.
Another key design enhancement to the WPP05S insert grade is a new substrate that is engineered to deliver better resistance to plastic deformation. This is particularly important at higher cutting speeds required for increased productivity. In addition, the company reported that a thicker cobalt-enriched zone yields greater toughness and process reliability.
"Due to features like these, the new Walter Tigerátec Silver WPP05S inserts, available in multiple geometries (MP3, MP5, RP5 and NRF), can reliably operate at high cutting speeds with greater metal removal rates," said the spokesperson. "In addition, field tests have confirmed significantly increased tool life at high speeds."
