Walter expands its Gold range with milling grade WSM35G

Walter is expanding its Tiger·tec Gold range with the new WSM35G milling grade.

The indexable insert is coated with the only PVD Al2O3 coating technology of its kind to date with a multi-layer structure on a carbide substrate. The structure consists of a bottom TiAlN layer for high wear resistance, a middle Al2O3 layer for high temperature resistance and a ZrN gold-colored top layer for minimized friction and the best wear detection.

The new coating ensures excellent cutting-edge stability and therefore a long tool life, as well as high process reliability, even in complex applications, according to the company.

The grade is for universal application even under abrasive and difficult conditions, such as interrupted cuts or during wet machining, when milling austenitic stainless steel or nickel-based superalloys (ISO M and S workpiece groups).
