GX16-2E100R00-GD8 WSM23S Drehwendeschneidplatte — Tiger·tec Silver grade for rostfreier Stahl and superalloys (Walter Tools)

GX16-2E100R00-GD8 WSM23S is a coated turning insert designed for high-demand finishing and semi-finishing of difficult-to-machine alloys, optimised for applications where edge stability and heat resistance are critical

• Tiger·tec Silver coated carbide grade WSM23S
• Optimised for rostfreier Stahl and superalloys
• Stable cutting edge for productive machining

Higher process reliability with a heat-resistant grade

The Tiger·tec Silver family combines advanced coating technology with a wear-resistant substrate to deliver consistent performance in challenging cycles. The WSM23S grade is a coated carbide formulation tailored for materials that generate heat and promote built-up edge formation. In practical terms, this means improved tool life and fewer interruptions for index changes during serial production, reducing idle time and increasing throughput for turning processes.

Improved surface finish and controlled chip behaviour

Built-in geometries and the specified chipbreaker code 2E100R00-GD8 enable predictable chip formation when machining rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys. Predictable chips protect the workpiece and the machine tool, while the coating supports a cleaner shear zone to enhance the surface finish. For shops processing demanding alloys, the combination of geometry and grade translates into fewer rework steps and more consistent part quality across batches.

Practical selection and integration for workshop efficiency

The insert designation provides clear guidance for matching holders and cutting parameters; using the right toolbody and adjusted cutting data ensures the stable cutting edge characteristic of this range. Selection of coolant strategy and feed rates, informed by the insert’s intended application, supports productive machining and lowers overall cycle costs. The specification is suitable where repeatable performance and predictable tool change intervals are priorities, making the insert a reliable choice for mixed production environments handling stainless and high-temperature alloys.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The GX16-2E100R00-GD8 WSM23S insert is specified for rostfreier Stahl (M) and heat‑resistant superalloys/titanium (S) as described by the grade characteristics.

What does the Tiger·tec Silver designation mean in practice?
Tiger·tec Silver denotes a multi‑layer coating system that enhances wear resistance and heat tolerance on the WSM23S coated carbide to support longer tool life in demanding turning operations.

How does the chipbreaker 2E100R00-GD8 affect machining?
The chipbreaker geometry promotes consistent chip curling and safe chip evacuation, improving surface appearance and reducing risk to the toolholder and machine.

Is this insert intended for finishing or roughing operations?
The combination of grade and geometry suits finishing and semi‑finishing where edge stability and surface quality are required; application specifics depend on toolholder selection and cutting data.

How should cutting data be adapted for rostfreier Stahl?
Lower cutting speeds and optimised feeds, combined with appropriate cooling strategies, typically deliver the best balance between performance and tool life for the WSM23S grade.
