GX16-2E300N15-RF8 WSM23S – Walter Tools indexable turning insert, Tiger·tec Silver coating, for rostfreier Stahl and superalloys

The GX16-2E300N15-RF8 WSM23S is an indexable turning insert engineered for productive machining of rostfreier Stahl and heat-resistant superalloys, offering a coated-carbide grade optimised for secure chip control in demanding cuts.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for improved heat resistance
• WSM23S grade for tough rostfreier Stahl and superalloys
• Stable cutting edge for productive roughing
• Geometry 2E300N15‑RF8 for controlled chip formation

High-temperature strength for demanding alloys and rostfreier Stahl

The combination of the Tiger·tec Silver coating and the WSM23S grade gives this insert a pronounced resistance to thermal loading and edge degradation. Coated carbide technology provides a protective layer that reduces adhesive wear and supports consistent cutting-edge stability when machining materials that generate high temperatures and work hardening. This results in longer in‑service life of the insert and fewer indexings during series production, which directly improves process efficiency and reduces downtime.

Predictable chip control and edge security with dedicated geometry

The insert’s geometry, designated 2E300N15‑RF8, is designed to promote reliable chip formation and evacuation under varying cutting conditions. A stable cutting edge and optimised chipbreaker form mean less risk of built-up edge and more consistent surface finish on components made from rostfreier Stahl or nickel‑based superalloys. For production environments where repeatability and surface integrity matter, the controlled chip behaviour contributes to steady cycle times and reduced rework.

Application guidance and process benefits for workshop and production

This grade is intended for heavy or difficult-to-machine materials, particularly the ISO groups M and S, making it suitable for tasks where heat resistance and edge robustness are crucial. As a coated indexable insert, it supports a range of turning operations from roughing to semi-finishing, allowing shops to standardise tooling across several components and alloys. The result is higher overall productivity, simplified tooling management and a reduction in tool-change frequency for serial manufacturing.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The insert is suitable for machining rostfreier Stahl (ISO group M) and heat‑resistant superalloys/titanium (ISO group S); the WSM23S grade and Tiger·tec Silver coating are selected for thermal stability and edge robustness.

Which operations are recommended for this geometry?
The 2E300N15‑RF8 geometry is optimised for turning operations that require controlled chip formation and edge security, such as productive roughing and semi‑finishing of difficult materials.

How does the Tiger·tec Silver coating benefit cutter life?
The Tiger·tec Silver coating reduces thermal and adhesive wear on the coated carbide substrate, helping to maintain a stable cutting edge and extend in‑service life under elevated temperatures.

Is this insert suitable for finishing stainless components?
While primarily designed for heavy and demanding cuts in rostfreier Stahl and superalloys, the insert can be applied in semi‑finishing contexts where its edge stability supports consistent surface quality
