GX16-2E100L00-GD8 WSM23S indexable turning insert by Walter Tools — Tiger·tec Silver coating, for stainless steel and superalloys

GX16-2E100L00-GD8 WSM23S is an indexable turning insert designed for demanding turning applications in heat-resistant alloys and stainless steels

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for heat resistance
• Optimised chipbreaker for stable chip control
• Coated carbide grade WSM23S for tough alloys
• Suitable for stainless steel and superalloys

Improved thermal stability for high-temperature turning

The Tiger·tec Silver coating, combined with the WSM23S coated carbide grade, delivers superior thermal stability when machining materials that generate high cutting temperatures. This results in a stable cutting edge and reduced flank wear, which translates into longer intervals between indexings and fewer unexpected tool changes. For workshops processing stainless steel and heat-resistant alloys, the improved resistance to edge degradation means more predictable cycle times and less scrap, supporting leaner throughput and consistent part quality.

Predictable chip formation and better surface quality

The integrated chipbreaker (2E100L00-GD8) has been optimised to produce consistent chips when turning ductile, work-hardening materials. Reliable chip control reduces the risk of chip re-cutting and surface damage, contributing to improved surface finish and less secondary finishing work. In practice this delivers time savings on complex operations and reduces machine downtime caused by chip management, increasing overall process efficiency.

Greater productivity and cost efficiency per part

By combining a robust grade with an advanced coating, the insert supports higher cutting parameters and sustained performance in challenging materials. The outcome is enhanced productivity through longer tool life and fewer insert changes, which reduces operator intervention and changeover time. For batch production and small-series work alike, users benefit from more uptime and a more economical cost per part without compromising on dimensional accuracy or repeatability.

Application guidance and material compatibility

The grade WSM23S is intended for the ISO material groups M (stainless steels) and S (heat-resistant superalloys and titanium). These materials tend to be thermally demanding and can promote built-up edge; the combination of coating and chip geometry on this insert aims to support a controlled, safe cut and stable edge retention. Selection of cutting data should consider workpiece alloy, rigidity of setup and toolholder geometry; for specific cutting parameters or to confirm suitability for a given alloy, Metav Werkzeuge's technical advisors can provide tailored recommendations.
