Silver WSM45X offers reduced built up edge and easily identifiable wear.
High temperature resistance combined with high wear resistance, toughness and phenomenal hardness. These are the key features of Walter’s new inserts in the Tiger·tec Silver WSM45X grade, which can boost performance by up to 67 percent compared to similar tooling inserts.
The special Tiger·tec Silver surface treatment and the high-performance substrate ensure improved process reliability when working with materials that have difficult cutting properties, such as titanium alloys.
The unique Al2O3 coating is designed specifically for materials that are difficult to cut. The surfaces are also extremely flat, which help to significantly reduce built up edge.
The two-tone Tiger·tec Silver coating allows users to identify wear quickly, ensuring that all cutting edges are used efficiently.
The indexable inserts in the Tiger·tec Silver WSM45X grade are available for all popular Xtra·tec and new M4000 face and shoulder mills, as well as the Walter F2334 copy milling cutter.
WSM45X is also particularly well-suited to machining stainless steels (ISO M) and difficult-to cut materials (ISO S).
Typical components include exhaust-gas turbo chargers, turbine blades and titanium frames for use in the aerospace industry.
