GX16-3E400N04-UD4 WSM33S indexable turning insert – Tiger‑tec Silver grade for stainless steels and superalloys | Walter Tools

GX16-3E400N04-UD4 WSM33S is an indexable turning insert intended for heavy-duty machining tasks, especially where stainless steels and heat‑resistant superalloys require secure chip formation and durable edge stability

• Tiger‑tec Silver coating for thermal stability
• WSM33S grade for stable cutting edges
• Optimised chip control for difficult alloys
• Suitable for stainless steels and titanium

High‑performance grade for challenging materials

The GX16‑3E400N04‑UD4 WSM33S turning insert combines a coated carbide substrate with Walter Tools’ Tiger‑tec Silver technology to address the specific demands of ISO group M (stainless steels) and S (heat‑resistant superalloys and titanium). The WSM33S grade is engineered to resist thermal loading and edge chipping during interrupted cuts or high cutting temperatures; this results in a more reliable cutting edge and consistent tool life. The chipbreaker geometry 3E400N04‑UD4 promotes controlled chip flow, which reduces rework and improves process stability on the shop floor.

Clear productivity gains and surface‑quality benefits

Using a dedicated grade and optimised chipbreaker delivers tangible production advantages: longer tool life, fewer tool changes and improved surface finish on hard‑to‑machine workpieces. The Tiger‑tec Silver coating provides thermal protection and wear resistance, while the substrate geometry supports stable contact at the cutting edge. For turning operations in serial production, this insert reduces downtime and contributes to reproducible component quality, making it a pragmatic choice where process reliability and cycle-time reduction are priorities.

Practical integration and what to expect in use

The insert is compatible with standard indexable turning holders that accept the GX16 form, enabling straightforward replacement and minimal setup time. In practice, the combination of grade and chipbreaker leads to safer chip control and a lower tendency for built‑up edge formation when machining stainless steels and superalloys. For customers evaluating tool life or choosing cutting data, a short trial run under actual operating conditions is recommended to fine‑tune speeds and feeds for the specific material and component geometry.

FAQ

What materials is this insert designed for?
The GX16-3E400N04-UD4 WSM33S insert is designed primarily for ISO group M (stainless steels) and ISO group S (heat‑resistant superalloys and titanium) and offers tailored performance for these materials.

How does the Tiger‑tec Silver coating benefit machining?
The Tiger‑tec Silver coating on the WSM33S grade increases thermal resistance and wear protection, improving edge stability and allowing the insert to maintain performance under elevated cutting temperatures.

Which chipbreaker is used and what does it do?
The 3E400N04‑UD4 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip flow and secure chip formation, reducing the risk of entangling chips and supporting consistent surface finish during turning operations.

Is this insert compatible with standard toolholders?
The GX16 form is compatible with turning toolholders designed for that indexable insert geometry; the insert can be integrated into standard turning setups that accept GX16‑type inserts.

What production benefits can be expected from using this grade?
Using the WSM33S grade typically results in longer tool life, fewer interventions for regrinding or replacement, and improved process stability when machining demanding alloys.
