Tiger·tec Gold for universal use in all Walter milling tools

By Bhalchandra Chorghade, Editor, CNCTimes.com

With the Tiger·tec® Gold grade WSP45G, Walter developed a generation of indexable inserts capable of approx. 30?percent more performance, which represents a technological leap in ISO P, M and S; in steel they even achieve up to 75?percent higher performance.

After Walter had initially introduced the indexable inserts for the latest milling tools, Xtra·tec® XT, Walter BLAXX and M4000, the second phase of the launch added indexable inserts for further Walter milling cutters, such as the Xtra·tec® shoulder, helical and slotting milling cutters, as well as for high-feed and copy milling cutters. With the third phase of the launch, the PVD grade WSP45G, now complete, Tiger·tec® Gold can now be used universally: The user can now use the latest Tiger·tec® Gold grade WSP45G in all manufacturer milling cutters.

Vital to the grade's performance, which is unrivalled on the market, is the coating technology and its special layer structure: The gold-coloured ZrN top layer facilitates exceptional friction characteristics as well as excellent wear detection. The multi-layered aluminium oxide coating (Al2O3) makes the inserts temperature-resistant. The TiAlN layer and the carbide substrate as a foundation increase the wear resistance.

These properties make the inserts ideal for challenging conditions, such as interrupted cuts, long overhangs with a tendency to vibrate or for wet machining. With the new grade, users can now harness the full benefits of Tiger·tec® Gold in all Walter milling cutters, be it the much longer tool life, higher cutting values or more process reliability.
