GX16-2E300N02-UF8 WSM23S Turning Insert – Tiger·tec Silver, for rostfreier Stahl and Superalloys (Walter Tools)

The GX16-2E300N02-UF8 WSM23S is a coated indexable turning insert engineered for heavy-duty turning in rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys, offering robust edge stability and optimised chip control for industrial production.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for heat resistance
• Stable cutting edge for extended tool life
• Suitable for rostfreier Stahl and superalloys
• Optimised chip control with UF8 geometry

Higher throughput through heat‑resistant coating and stable edge control

The coated carbide grade WSM23S combines a thermally resistant surface treatment with a substrate designed for tough conditions. This configuration reduces the tendency for built-up edge on difficult materials and maintains a consistent edge form under increased temperatures. The practical result is improved process reliability and fewer interruptions for tool changes, which supports continuous production and predictable output. By focusing on thermal management and edge robustness, this solution contributes to measurable improvements in machining stability when working with rostfreier Stahl and nickel‑based alloys.

Consistent chip formation and reduced rework thanks to UF8 geometry

The 2E300N02‑UF8 chipbreaker geometry is tailored for controlled chip segmentation during turning operations. Improved chip evacuation minimises risks of chip entanglement and surface damage, lowering the need for secondary finishing. For workshop planners and production engineers, this means fewer scrap parts and reduced cycle variability. The engineered chip flow also assists coolant access and thermal dissipation at the cutting zone, which in turn preserves tool life and enhances surface integrity on sensitive workpiece materials.

Broad applicability and simple integration into existing tool systems

Designed as an indexable turning insert, the item fits standard toolholders compatible with its designation and allows straightforward replacement during planned maintenance. The coated carbide composition and the Grade WSM23S make the insert suitable across ISO groups M and S, covering rostfreier Stahl as well as heat‑resistant superalloys and titanium alloys depending on component geometry. This flexibility supports mixed‑material production runs and reduces the need for multiple specialised grades, helping to simplify tool inventory while maintaining machining performance.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The GX16-2E300N02-UF8 WSM23S insert is intended for rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys (ISO groups M and S), offering heat resistance and edge stability for demanding turnings.

How does the Tiger·tec Silver coating benefit machining?
Tiger·tec Silver on the WSM23S grade provides thermal protection and wear resistance, which helps maintain the cutting edge and supports longer tool life under elevated temperatures.

Can this insert be used for titanium alloys?
Depending on component geometry and cutting parameters, the Grade WSM23S and its UF8 chipbreaker can be applied to titanium and similar heat‑resistant materials with appropriate machining strategies.

What advantage does the UF8 chipbreaker provide?
The UF8 geometry is designed for controlled chip formation and efficient evacuation, reducing surface damage risk and lowering rework rates during turning operations.

Is this insert compatible with standard toolholders?
Yes, the indexable design and the GX16‑designation align with common toolholder systems for turning inserts of this form factor.
