GX16-3E400N04-UF8 WSM23S indexable turning insert — Tiger‑tec Silver, for stainless steels and superalloys (Walter Tools)

GX16-3E400N04-UF8 WSM23S is an indexable turning insert engineered for high‑duty applications in ISO M (stainless steels) and ISO S (superalloys and titanium) machining.

• Tiger‑tec Silver coated carbide grade WSM23S
• Optimised 3E400N04‑UF8 chipformer for stable chips
• High edge stability on stainless steels and superalloys
• Designed for consistent productivity in demanding cuts

Increased throughput through robust coating and edge life

The combination of a coated carbide substrate and Tiger‑tec Silver technology yields measurable improvements in tool life and process reliability. The selected grade supports a stable cutting edge under elevated temperatures, which reduces unscheduled tool changes and improves overall machine utilisation. Focusing on efficiency, this insert enables longer uninterrupted cuts and helps to lower machining costs per component by extending service intervals and decreasing cycle interruptions.

Reliable chip control for difficult materials

With the 3E400N04‑UF8 chipformer, the insert delivers predictable chip control when machining tough alloys. The geometry is tuned for ISO M (stainless steels) and S (superalloys/titanium), where heat generation and material ductility challenge conventional grades. Clear chip formation reduces the risk of rework and tool damage, while the insert’s geometry supports stable contact conditions at the cutting edge — a decisive advantage for demanding turning operations on corrosion‑resistant and heat‑resistant materials.

Practical handling, compatibility and application gains

The insert’s design simplifies tool set‑up and replacement in standard indexable toolholders, contributing to faster tool changes and consistent clamping. Optimised wear behaviour and edge security translate directly into repeatable part quality and surface finish. For workshops seeking predictable performance on stainless steels and superalloys, this solution offers a balance of process stability and cost‑effective machining without sacrificing surface integrity or dimensional control.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for stainless steels?
Yes. The GX16-3E400N04-UF8 WSM23S is specified for ISO M materials and is optimised to maintain edge stability and chip control when turning stainless steels.

Which workpiece materials are recommended for this grade?
The WSM23S grade is targeted at stainless steels and heat‑resistant superalloys (ISO M and ISO S), providing balanced wear resistance and thermal stability for demanding cuts.

What is the role of the 3E400N04‑UF8 chipformer?
The 3E400N04‑UF8 chipformer shapes chips to avoid entanglement and promotes repeatable evacuation, especially under the high heat and ductility conditions typical of stainless and superalloy turning.

Can the insert be used in standard indexable toolholders?
Yes. The insert is intended for conventional indexable turning toolholders; correct seat and clamping ensure the designed performance and tool life.

How does Tiger‑tec Silver benefit production?
Tiger‑tec Silver coating enhances thermal resistance and reduces flank and crater wear, which contributes to longer tool life and improved process stability in continuous production.
