Drehwendeschneidplatte GX16-1E200N02-UD4 WKP23S – Tiger‑tec Silver coated indexable turning insert for steel (P) and cast iron (K) | Walter Tools

A Drehwendeschneidplatte GX16-1E200N02-UD4 WKP23S engineered for high-productivity turning in steel and cast iron applications, offering a coated cemented-carbide substrate and an optimised chipbreaker geometry.

• Tiger‑tec Silver coating for long tool life
• WKP23S grade for steel and cast iron
• Stable cutting edge and chip control
• Coated carbide for reproducible results

Increased productivity through advanced coating and grade

The combination of Tiger‑tec Silver and the WKP23S grade provides a clear production advantage: enhanced resistance to abrasive wear and improved heat tolerance, which together extend tool life and keep process windows stable. The insert is based on a coated carbide substrate, meaning a wear-resistant carbide body with a thin engineering coating that reduces adhesion and oxidation at the cutting edge. For manufacturing operations that require consistent part quality, this translates directly into fewer tool changes and more uninterrupted machining time.

Reliable chip control and improved surface finishes

The 1E200N02-UD4 chipbreaker geometry ensures predictable chip formation when machining group P (steel) and group K (cast iron) materials. Controlled chip breaking reduces the risk of entangling swarf and stabilises cutting forces, which helps maintain a steady tool–workpiece interface and delivers repeatable surface conditions. In practice, this reduces downtime related to chip management and supports higher feed rates without compromising finish quality.

Economical handling and reproducible results in production

As an indexable insert, this item offers the economic benefit of multiple usable edges per insert and simple indexation; worn edges are rotated away, restoring cutting performance quickly. The coated carbide construction and the WKP23S specification lead to reproducible cutting behaviour across batches, simplifying tool selection and inventory for shops working with mixed steels and cast irons. Fewer tool variants are needed thanks to the broad material coverage, which lowers system complexity and total tooling cost per part.

Clear application scope and material compatibility

Specified for ISO material groups P and K, the insert is suitable for unalloyed and alloyed steels as well as a range of cast irons, reflecting the standard classification in ISO 513. The grade’s balance between toughness and wear resistance makes it a solid choice where interrupted cuts, medium to high cutting speeds, and abrasive workpiece conditions are expected. For customers less familiar with insert technology: a chipbreaker like 1E200N02-UD4 shapes the chips and relieves stress at the cutting edge, while the coating reduces friction and thermal load during cutting.

FAQ

Which materials can be machined with this insert?
The insert is suitable for ISO groups P (steel) and K (cast iron); the WKP23S grade and chipbreaker are optimised for these materials.

What is the benefit of the Tiger‑tec Silver coating?
Tiger‑tec Silver on the GX16-1E200N02-UD4 WKP23S enhances wear resistance and thermal stability, extending edge life and supporting more consistent machining results.

How does the 1E200N02-UD4 chipbreaker affect machining?
The 1E200N02-UD4 geometry promotes controlled chip breakage and steady cutting forces, which improves surface finish and reduces issues with swarf management.

Is this insert suitable for interrupted cuts or heavy cuts?
The WKP23S grade provides a balance of toughness and wear resistance suitable for many interrupted and moderate-depth turning operations in steel and cast iron.
