WU20PM is Widia’s universal micro-fine carbide grade with TiAlN PVD coating. It balances toughness and wear resistance, suitable for steel, stainless steel, and high-temp alloys.
Yes, WU20PM with TiAlN PVD is formulated to perform well in both dry and wet machining environments.
That refers to a square insert (SDMT), with an inscribed circle of 12.7 mm (1204), chipbreaker style “PDR”, and tolerance/clearance “MH.” It offers four cutting edges per insert.
It excels in machining steel, stainless steel, and superalloys — ideal for P20, M20, and S20 applications.
The TiAlN coating greatly improves heat and wear resistance, making it more durable and cost-effective over time, especially for high-temperature or abrasive materials.
