Walter Announces New Tiger·tec® Silver WPP05S Cutting Tool Grade



Optimized for maximum productivity, reliability and toughness in steel machining, roughing forged components and long production runs, Walter’s new Tiger-tec Silver® WPP05S also increases tool life, even at higher speeds.



Waukesha, WI—Walter has introduced the Walter Tiger·tec® Silver WPP05S, an extremely wear resistant indexable insert grade that delivers high performance and maximum productivity in steel machining (ISO P), particularly in roughing forged components and long production runs. This is made possible, in part, by the insert’s thicker Tiger·tec Silver coating with its optimized aluminum oxide microstructure, and its post-coating treatment that provides greater reliability, increased toughness and reduced downtime to chipping, especially in high-volume production.



Another key design enhancement to the WPP05S insert grade is a new substrate that delivers better resistance to plastic deformation. This is particularly important at higher cutting speeds required for increased productivity. In addition, a thicker cobalt-enriched zone yields greater toughness and process reliability.



Thanks to features like these, the new Walter Tiger·tec Silver WPP05S inserts, available in multiple geometries (MP3, MP5, RP5 and NRF), can reliably operate at high cutting speeds with greater metal removal rates. In addition, field tests have confirmed significantly increased tool life at high speeds.



Walter, a global leader in the metalworking industry with over 90 years of experience in precision cutting tools for milling, drilling, turning, boring and specialized tools, helps customers improve process reliability and increase productivity. With Regional Headquarters in Waukesha, WI, Walter markets its competence brands Walter Valenite, Walter Titex, Walter Prototyp and Walter Multiply through a strong network of distributors and field engineers across subsidiaries in the USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil and Argentina.
