As strong as ever. More flexible than ever before.

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces Tiger·tec® Gold, a new generation of cutting tool materials from Walter, designed to enhance performance in machining processes such as turning, holemaking, and milling. The focus is on achieving superior synergy between cost efficiency, process reliability, and productivity.

Product Innovations
Tiger·tec® Gold is highlighted for its flexibility and strength, offering solutions across various machining disciplines. The technology is built on a holistic development approach, aiming to redefine peak performance in machining.

High-Performance Turning
The document details the advantages of Tiger·tec® Gold in turning applications, emphasizing its heat resistance and tool life due to a highly textured TiCN + Al2O3 CVD layer. This makes it suitable for high machining temperatures.

High-Performance Holemaking
For holemaking, the PVD coating provides optimal wear resistance and reduced coating thickness, making it advantageous for operations with varying cutting speeds.

High-Performance Milling
Milling benefits from the CVD coating containing TiAlN for dry milling in cast iron and steel, while PVD coatings are used for stainless and difficult materials. The technology ensures maximum efficiency and flexibility.

Coating Technologies
The document describes various coating technologies, including CVD and PVD, with specific compositions and thicknesses tailored for different machining operations. These coatings enhance wear resistance and tool life.

Application Examples
Examples include the use of Tiger·tec® Gold in turning a drive shaft and holemaking in turbochargers, demonstrating significant improvements in tool life and component production.

Key Advantages
Key benefits include improved flexibility with various materials, safe processes even with interrupted cuts, and efficient mass production due to impressive tool life.

Conclusion
Tiger·tec® Gold is presented as a leading technology platform for machining, offering reliable and efficient solutions across turning, holemaking, and milling. The document emphasizes its role in enhancing productivity and process reliability.

NOT JUST TURNING. GETTING THINGS DONE. Machining professionals know that every steel machining operation involves its own unique challenges. So it’s a good thing that Tiger·tec® Gold can handle almost any challenge involved in turning. No other solution is so u ncompromisingly designed for high performance, while remaining so flexible and safe. The secret to its outstanding flexibility is the specialised design of the individual grades. Whether high wear resistance is required because of continuous component contact, or difficult conditions resulting in a high number of interrupted cuts mean...
