Exploring the Enduring Excellence of Tiger·tec? Gold in Steel Turning

In the demanding world of manufacturing, particularly in steel turning, the quest for efficiency and tool longevity is ongoing. Walters’ Tiger·tec? Gold stands as a testament to our commitment to these principles, offering a solution that consistently sets industry benchmarks.

The Tiger·tec? Gold Advantage

Our Tiger·tec? Gold coating technology is a game-changer for professionals in the automotive, power generation, and general mechanical engineering sectors. Here’s why:

• Robust Durability: The fine matrix and highly textured MT-TiCN coating significantly resists flank wear, extending tool life and ensuring consistent performance.
• Enhanced Elasticity: The unique multi-layer structure of the MT-TiCN coating improves the coating's elasticity, minimizing flaking and enhancing the tool's overall resilience.
• Superior Wear Resistance: The highly textured Al2O3 layer offers unmatched resistance to crater wear, a common challenge in high-temperature steel turning operations.
• Optimized Chip Breaker Surface: Our multi-stage post-treatment process creates a smoother chip breaker surface, reducing friction and improving toughness, which translates to reliable chip evacuation and enhanced process reliability.

Our Comprehensive Indexable Insert Assortment

Tailored to meet the diverse needs of steel turning, our assortment includes:

• Geometries for Every Need: From wiper geometries like FW5 and MW5 for superior surface finish to heavy roughing geometries such as HU3 and HU5, we offer solutions designed to optimize your turning operations.
• A Grade for Every Application: Whether it’s high-speed finishing with WKP01G or tackling tough, interrupted cuts with WPP30G, our graded inserts are engineered for maximum performance and versatility.

Main Applications and Benefits

Tiger·tec? Gold is not just about tool longevity; it’s about elevating productivity and ensuring cost-effectiveness across applications:
