Wnmg Insert Tungaloy

Key Features:

• Versatile WNMG Geometry:

  • The WNMG insert features a wedge-shaped design, with four cutting edges, enabling efficient utilization of the insert’s life by rotating it for multiple use cycles. The positive rake angle and clearance angles provide low cutting forces and ensure smoother cuts, making the insert suitable for both roughing and finishing applications.

• High-Performance Carbide Material:

  • The carbide used in Tungaloy WNMG inserts is formulated for optimal wear resistance, heat resistance, and cutting edge strength, ensuring the insert maintains its sharpness over long cutting cycles and high cutting speeds. This contributes to longer tool life and reduced tooling costs.

• Advanced Coating Technology:

  • Many Tungaloy WNMG inserts are equipped with advanced coatings, such as TiAlN (Titanium Aluminum Nitride), TiN (Titanium Nitride), or CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) coatings. These coatings provide enhanced abrasion resistance, thermal stability, and oxidation resistance, which are essential for maintaining cutting performance during high-speed and high-temperature cutting operations.

• Excellent Chip Control:

  • The design of the WNMG insert ensures optimal chip flow, minimizing chip clogging and preventing tool damage. It also offers reliable chip breaking and smooth evacuation, reducing the risk of machining issues such as built-up edge (BUE), vibration, and tool wear.

• Precision and Surface Finish:

  • The sharp cutting edges and positive rake angle of the WNMG insert allow for high-quality surface finishes, especially in finishing operations.
