GX16-2E140R00-GD8 WSM23S turning indexable insert — Tiger·tec Silver, Walter Tools

The GX16-2E140R00-GD8 WSM23S is a coated turning insert engineered for stable performance in the machining of stainless steel and high‑temperature alloys, optimised for heavy‑duty and difficult‑to‑cut materials

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for high heat resistance
• Designed for stainless steel and superalloys
• Coated carbide grade WSM23S for edge stability
• Reliable chip formation in demanding operations

Longer tool life through heat‑resistant coating and grade

The combination of Tiger·tec Silver technology and the WSM23S coated carbide grade is intended to increase resistance to thermal and mechanical wear during continuous turning. This results in a more stable cutting edge and reduced flank wear compared with uncoated or conventional grades, which supports longer tool life and fewer interruptions on production runs. The coating concept is particularly beneficial where thermal loads and adhesive wear challenge the cutting edge.

Consistent chip control for predictable machining

The insert’s geometry 2E140R00-GD8 is configured to support secure chip formation under heavy cutting conditions. Stable chip control minimises built‑up edge formation and reduces the risk of surface damage, so component quality and process reproducibility are improved. For operations on stainless steel and heat‑resistant superalloys, this predictability translates into fewer reworks and a smoother workflow on the lathe.

Application suitability and machining advantages

Specified for the ISO material groups M and S, this insert is suitable for machining stainless steel (M) and heat‑resistant superalloys or titanium (S), where thermal stability and edge robustness are required. The grade’s balance between toughness and hardness enables productive cutting on materials that would otherwise cause rapid tool degradation, supporting higher process stability and consistent surface integrity of finished parts.

Operational efficiency and tooling integration

The insert is supplied in the established GX16 geometry family and is compatible with standard turning toolholders that accept this designation. By selecting a dedicated coated grade such as this one, cycle times can be optimised because the tool maintains cutting performance under increased thermal stress. Process planners benefit from the predictable behaviour of the grade when scheduling tool changes and estimating tool life for batch production.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The GX16-2E140R00-GD8 WSM23S insert is specified for stainless steel (ISO group M) and for heat‑resistant superalloys or titanium (ISO group S), offering thermal stability and edge robustness for these materials.

What does the Tiger·tec Silver designation mean for cutting performance?
Tiger·tec Silver denotes a coating and substrate combination that enhances heat resistance and wear performance; the WSM23S grade uses this technology to maintain cutting edge stability in thermally demanding turning operations.

Is this insert compatible with standard GX16 toolholders?
Yes, the insert follows the GX16 designation and is intended for insertion into compatible turning toolholders that accept this geometry and clamping arrangement.

How does the WSM23S grade affect chip formation?
The WSM23S coated carbide is designed to support secure and consistent chip breaking under heavy loads, which reduces the likelihood of built‑up edge and improves surface finish consistency.

Are there recommended sectors or applications for this insert?
This insert is particularly suited to production environments where stainless steel and heat‑resistant alloys are machined regularly and where process stability and extended tool life are priorities.
