Made from an extremely fine-grained substrate on a TiCN/CN base with a Ni/Co binder, the benefits are a result of the insert’s highly wear-resistant multi-layer coating, says Walter. In addition, a special edge preparation on the cermet grade produces a ‘glossy’ finished surface – at high and low cutting speeds. This premium finish is particularly desirable for customer-facing components, such as those used in car interiors.
WEP10 is suitable for stainless steel and cast iron, as well as ISO P materials, and is especially useful for finishing parts such as drive shafts and gearwheels with a continuous or slightly interrupted cut.
