Walter has introduced the WXN15 coated grade for machining ISO N materials.
The introduction of the new grade comes in response to the growing use of aluminum in the automotive and aerospace industries where saving weight is a priority, and in general metalworking where users seek ways to speed up machining in a range of applications.
These WXN15 grade coated inserts feature a highly positive shaped geometry, which is particularly effective in machining ISO N materials. When used in advanced cutter bodies like the new Xtra·tec XT M5468 button insert milling cutter, with G88 geometry, this also increases productivity when performing machining operations on deep shoulders with excellent chip removal.
These WXN15 grade inserts are available in 77 varieties of insert shapes, sizes, and varying geometries, to fit all of the most popular Walter milling families. WXN15 coated grade inserts can be used for copy milling, face milling, ramping, pocket milling and circular interpolation milling.
Though engineered for aluminum machining, most inserts of this WXN15 coated grade are also effective on other non-ferrous materials as well as some steels, stainless steels, cast iron, and also on materials with difficult cutting properties, including hard machining.
