GX16-1E250N02-UF4 WKP23S turning insert – Tiger‑tec Silver coated carbide for steel and cast iron | Walter Tools

The GX16-1E250N02-UF4 WKP23S is a turning insert designed for productive machining of steel and cast iron, combining a modern coated‑carbide grade with a geometry optimised for controlled chip formation.

• Tiger‑tec Silver coating for extended tool life
• WKP23S grade optimised for steel and cast iron
• Stable chip control for productive machining
• Suitable for conventional and CNC turning

Maximise productivity with a coated‑carbide grade

The Tiger‑tec Silver coating and WKP23S composition deliver a balanced combination of wear resistance and toughness. This results in longer tool life and fewer insert changes during production, which reduces machine downtime and improves throughput. For shops processing unalloyed and alloyed steels, the coated substrate helps manage the typical heat and abrasion that occur during turning operations, translating directly into lower tooling costs per component.

Consistent chip control for safer, faster cycles

The insert’s chipbreaker designation 1E250N02‑UF4 denotes a geometry engineered for reliable chip formation under varying cutting conditions. Predictable chip control reduces the risk of entanglement and improves surface integrity, especially when turning interrupted cuts or heavier depths of cut. Clear, reproducible chip behaviour also simplifies setting feed and speed parameters on CNC machines, contributing to stable process windows and reproducible results.

Process security across conventional and CNC turning

Built for demanding workshop and production environments, this indexable insert supports both manual lathes and automated turning centres. The robust cutting edge and coated carbide substrate provide process security, helping to maintain dimensional stability and preventing premature edge breakdown. The grade is particularly suited to series production where consistency and repeatability are required, thereby protecting cycle times and enhancing overall equipment efficiency.

Broad material coverage and ISO‑aligned application

Conforming to the ISO material groups, the insert is intended for group P (steel) and group K (cast iron) applications. For shops that handle a mix of unalloyed steels and cast components, the WKP23S grade offers versatile performance without constant tool changes. The insert is therefore a practical choice when reliability, simple inventory management and predictable surface quality are priorities.

FAQ

What materials can be machined with this insert?
The GX16-1E250N02-UF4 WKP23S insert is designed primarily for steel (ISO group P) and cast iron (ISO group K) applications, providing reliable performance across these material families.

How does the Tiger‑tec Silver coating benefit machining?
The Tiger‑tec Silver coating on the WKP23S grade enhances wear resistance and toughness, extending tool life and improving process stability during turning operations.

Is this insert suitable for automated production?
Yes, the coated carbide grade and robust geometry make the insert suitable for both conventional turning and CNC production, supporting reproducible cycles and reduced downtime.

What does the chipbreaker code 1E250N02‑UF4 indicate?
The code denotes the specific chipbreaker geometry and its intended chip‑forming behaviour; this geometry is optimised for controlled chip evacuation and consistent surface finish under typical turning conditions.

Can the insert be used for interrupted cuts?
The combination of grade and chipbreaker provides good resistance to the stresses of interrupted cuts, making it a practical option where occasional interruptions occur.
