• Walter unveils an advanced new Tiger·tec® Gold PVD grade for use in all standard Walter milling tools (Apr 03, 2023)

  Greer, SC—Walter has introduced its Tiger·tec^® Gold PVD grade WSP45G, a new generation of indexable carbide inserts for milling that dramatically expands capabilities for slotting, shoulder and copy milling. The new grade can efficiently process demanding machining applications such as interrupted cuts and difficult materials.

  This new grade is now capable of longer tool life, greater reliability, and approximately 30 percent greater performance in stainless steels (ISO M) and heat-resistant super alloys (ISO S), and up to 75 percent greater performance in steels (ISO P) than comparable grades. With the launch phase now complete, the PVD grade WSP45G Tiger·tec^® Gold can be used universally in all standard Walter milling cutters.

          The key to the grade's performance is its next generation coating technology and its special layer structure. The gold colored ZrN top layer facilitates exceptional low-friction characteristics as well as excellent wear detection, thus making it possible to utilize the full potential of the indexable insert to extend tool life. Next, multiple layers of aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) increases the inserts temperature resistance.

  All are applied on top of a TiAlN base layer and a premium carbide substrate as a foundation, greatly increasing the overall wear resistance. These properties make the new inserts ideal for challenging conditions, such as interrupted cuts, long overhangs with a tendency to vibrate, or for wet machining.  www.walter-tools.com/us

• New Tiger·tec® Gold inserts from Walter improve steel turning tool life, productivity and process reliability (Apr 03, 2023)

  Tiger·tec Gold^® turning inserts have increased tool life by an average of approximately 50% thanks to their special multi-layer CVD coating.

  Waukesha, WI—Walter has introduced new grades of Tiger·tec^® Gold inserts for turning steel with a variety of both negative and positive geometries. The WPP10G grade is primarily for continuous cuts and highest cutting speeds. The WPP20G is a universal grade ideal for most applications, with an optimized performance between toughness, hardness and tool life. And the tough WPP30G grade is for interrupted cuts and unfavorable machining conditions. Walter now offers users these three Tiger·tec^® Gold grades, specially designed for turning operations in steel (with cast iron as a secondary application). In hundreds of customer tests globally these new inserts have increased tool life by an average of approximately 50% thanks largely to their layered structure of coatings.

          A patent-pending, highly textured, multi-layered MT-TiCN layer increases toughness and reduces flank face wear, resulting in lower cost per cutting edge. The inserts’ highly textured Al₂O₃ layer also minimizes crater wear, and the gold-colored top layer improves wear detection. The gradient carbide substrate boosts wear resistance and toughness. In addition, Walter provides its signature multi-stage post-treatment. This produces an unusually smooth rake face, reducing friction and also increasing toughness.

  This ensures high process reliability in automated processes. With this expansion of the product range, users can now benefit from maximum flexibility and minimal component costs when turning.
