GX16-0E170N01-UF8 WSM23S Turning insert — Tiger·tec Silver, for stainless steels & superalloys | Walter Tools

The GX16-0E170N01-UF8 WSM23S is a coated indexable turning insert from Walter Tools designed for machining stainless steels and heat‑resistant superalloys in demanding turning operations.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for heat resistance
• Optimised for stainless steel and superalloys
• Stable cutting edge for long tool life

Consistent performance on difficult-to-machine materials

The GX16-0E170N01-UF8 WSM23S delivers reliable cutting performance where thermal load and material toughness limit tool life. As a coated carbide insert from the Tiger·tec Silver series, it combines a heat‑resistant surface with a support structure that promotes secure chip formation and reduces built-up edge. For production environments tackling stainless steels and superalloys, this behaviour translates into fewer interruptions for edge dressing and more consistent part quality.

Coating and grade designed for process security

This indexable insert’s WSM23S grade is a coated cemented carbide optimised for the specific challenges of group M and S materials. The coating improves thermal stability and preserves the cutting edge under elevated temperatures, while the substrate maintains mechanical strength. The technical result is improved process security, meaning steadier cutting forces and a reduced risk of premature flank wear — benefits that support predictable cycle times and repeatable surface finish.

Effective chip control with an engineered geometry

The 0E170N01‑UF8 chipbreaker geometry promotes reliable chip segmentation in sticky, low‑conductivity alloys. Controlled chip flow minimises interference at the tool‑workpiece interface and reduces the need for manual chip handling. Combined with the insert’s stable cutting edge, this leads to longer in‑service life and fewer tool changes, which is especially relevant in medium to high volume turning where uptime and repeatability matter.
