Tiger·tec Silver WSM45X indexable inserts for other shoulder and copy milling cutters from Walter
Walter now offers the high-performance Tiger·tec Silver WSM45X indexable insert grade for ISO S and M for the Xtra·tec XT M5130 shoulder milling cutters, the Xtra·tec XT M5468 copying milling cutters, the Xtra·tec XT M5008 high-feed milling cutters, and the BLAXX F5041 and F5141 shoulder milling cutters too.
The combination of the special substrate, which is wear-resistant yet tough, with an Al2O3 coating is the only one of its kind on the market and ensures a high level of process reliability. The coating protects the substrate against excessive heat ingress and enables a high level of productivity. This makes the Tiger·tec Silver WSM45X grade a proven problem-solver, particularly when it comes to roughing titanium alloys in the aerospace industry and when machining stainless steel. The extremely smooth surface of the Tiger·tec Silver indexable inserts reduces the formation of build-up on the cutting edge. A two-tone Tiger·tec Silver coating also makes reliable wear detection possible.
Typical components that are machined using WSM45X indexable inserts are exhaust turbochargers, turbine blades, and titanium structural components for the aircraft industry. In addition to the new indexable inserts, the Tiger·tec Silver WSM45X range already includes cutting tool materials for many common Xtra·tec XT shoulder milling cutters, high-feed milling cutters, octagonal and copy milling cutters, and face and shoulder milling cutters from the M4000 series.
