Doubled up performance

Doubled up performance

Tooling expert Walter GB has announced that its new WEP10 cermet indexable insert offers two major advantages over coated carbide inserts for finish turning.

The first is a doubling in tool life and the second no fluctuation in dimensional wear, which minimises the need for re-adjustment, for example, when making modifications to the component.

Made from an extremely fine-grained substrate on a TiCN/CN base with an Ni/Co binder, the benefits are a result of the insert’s highly wear-resistant multi-layer coating.

In addition, a special edge preparation on the cermet grade produces a glossy finished surface (at high and low cutting speeds) – particularly desirable for components that are visible, such as those used in car interiors, when a good surface value alone isn’t enough.

WEP10 is suitable for stainless steels and cast iron as well as ISO P materials, and is especially useful for finishing parts such as drive shafts and gearwheels with a continuous or slightly interrupted cut.
