Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document is a product handbook for the Tiger·tec® Silver – ISO P Generation, focusing on steel turning. It introduces new cutting materials and geometries designed to enhance machining performance, offering up to a 75% increase in output.

New Technology
The Tiger·tec® Silver ISO P Generation combines a unique CVD coating with new universal geometries for steel machining. Innovations include an optimized aluminium oxide microstructure, microedge technology, and a silver flank face for easy wear detection, resulting in higher tool life and process reliability.

Application Range
The Tiger·tec® Silver offers flexibility, combining wear resistance and toughness to prevent fractures and wear, thus extending the lifespan of inserts. The application range has increased by 40% compared to previous geometries, covering the entire spectrum of steel cutting.

Geometries and Cutting Materials
Four geometries (FP5, MP3, MP5, RP5) have been developed for various machining needs from finishing to roughing. The cutting materials (WPP05S, WPP10S, WPP20S, WPP30S) are designed for different levels of wear resistance and toughness, suitable for continuous and interrupted cuts.

Application Examples
Examples demonstrate significant improvements in tool life and productivity across various applications, such as transmission shaft finishing and camshaft turning. The Tiger·tec® Silver consistently outperforms competitors, reducing the need for manual chip removal and increasing the number of components produced.

Product Advantages
The Tiger·tec® Silver offers higher productivity and cutting speeds, longer tool life, and improved process reliability. The new geometries simplify selection and reduce the number of required geometries in production.

Designation Keys
The document provides designation keys for geometry and cutting material, aiding in the selection of the appropriate tools based on material and machining conditions.

Specifications

MP5 Geometry: Suitable for medium machining of steel materials, featuring a universal application from smooth cuts to interrupted cuts. It includes reinforced chip breaker blades for improved chip breaking and reduced wear.
RP5 Geometry: Designed for roughing of steel with a stable, positive 3° chamfer, open groove design for low cutting temperature, and a wider chamfer to prevent notching.
NRF Geometry: A universal roughing insert with a V chip former for perfect chip breaking and a reinforced double groove for large depths of cut.
NRR Geometry: Heavy-duty roughing insert with a single-sided design for maximum feed rates and depths of cut, featuring a stable cutting edge with a protective chamfer.

Machining Conditions
The document categorizes machining conditions as good, moderate, or unfavorable, and provides recommendations for the best insert types for each condition.

Material Compatibility
The inserts are compatible with various materials, including unalloyed steel, low-alloyed steel, high-alloyed steel, stainless steel, and cast iron. The document provides detailed cutting speed recommendations for each material type.

Coating and Composition
The inserts are made from coated carbide, with coatings composed of TiCN and Al2O3, applied through a CVD process. This enhances their durability and performance in different machining applications.

Application Charts
The document includes application charts for Tiger·tec® Silver cutting materials, detailing the primary and other applications for each Walter grade designation.

Geometry and Applications
The inserts are categorized into finishing, medium machining, and roughing, with specific geometries tailored for each application. Each category includes details on the cutting edge, corner radius, and feed rates.

Workpiece Material Groups
The document provides a matrix indicating the primary and secondary applications of each insert type across different material groups, including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and materials with difficult cutting properties.

Recommendations
The document suggests specific inserts for various machining tasks, emphasizing the importance of selecting the right geometry for the material and application to achieve optimal performance and tool life.

Ordering Information
For detailed ordering information, the document refers to the 2012 Walter complete catalogue.

Procedures

Guidelines for maximizing tool life include maximizing depth of cut, feed rate, and adapting cutting speed to reduce wear and increase productivity.
Surface quality is influenced by the corner radius and feed rate, with recommendations to select the largest possible corner radius for better surface finish.

Technical Information

Tool life is affected by cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut, with cutting speed having the greatest impact.
Hardness comparison tables provide tensile strength, Vickers, Brinell, and Rockwell hardness values for various materials.
Turning calculation formulae are provided for speed, cutting time, and metal removal rate.

Wear Patterns and Recommendations

Different types of wear such as flank face wear, plastic deformation, fractures, and build-up on the cutting edge are described with corresponding actions to mitigate them.
Recommendations include using more wear-resistant materials, optimizing cooling, and adjusting cutting parameters.

Contact Information
The document provides contact details for Walter AG and its subsidiaries worldwide, offering support and services in various regions.
