GX16-2E120R00-GD8 WSM23S – Indexable turning insert, Tiger·tec Silver, for rostfreier Stahl and superalloys | Walter Tools

The GX16-2E120R00-GD8 WSM23S is an indexable turning insert designed for heavy-duty machining of rostfreier Stahl and heat-resistant superalloys, pairing a robust geometry with the Tiger·tec Silver coating for enhanced edge stability

• Tiger·tec Silver coated carbide grade WSM23S
• Optimised for rostfreier Stahl and superalloys
• Stable cutting edge for heavy machining
• Compatible with GX16 clamping systems

Increased productivity through a heat‑resistant grade

The combination of the Tiger·tec Silver series and the WSM23S grade delivers a coated carbide solution that focuses on thermal stability and controlled chip formation. This composition supports consistent cutting when tackling materials that build heat quickly, reducing the tendency for adhesion and built-up edge. The result is an improvement in process reliability and predictable tool life, which translates into fewer interruptions and higher throughput on demanding turning operations.

Secure edge life and predictable wear for cost efficiency

Designed for aggressive conditions, the insert offers a stable cutting edge and optimised chip control to sustain heavy cuts and maintain surface integrity. The coating and substrate combination increases wear resistance and protects the cutting edge from premature breakdown, enabling longer tool cycles and less frequent index changes. For manufacturing environments where repeatability and uptime are essential, this solution supports a measurable increase in operational efficiency and lower machining costs over time.

Easy integration and application guidance for shop floors

The insert geometry GX16-2E120R00-GD8 provides a familiar mounting and handling profile for standard turning toolholders, helping to simplify setup and integration into existing tool systems. Intended primarily for machining rostfreier Stahl (ISO group M) and superalloys (ISO group S), the grade performs well across roughing and semi-finishing operations depending on insert geometry and cutting data. If application-specific cutting parameters or recommendations are required, technical consultation is available to match insert selection and cutting data to the intended component and machine.
