GX16-3E425N02-UF8 WSM23S indexable turning insert – Tiger‑tec Silver for stainless steels & superalloys (Walter Tools)

GX16-3E425N02-UF8 WSM23S is a coated indexable turning insert engineered for demanding turning tasks in rostfreie Stähle and heat-resistant superalloys, delivering stable edges and predictable chip formation

• Tiger‑tec Silver coated carbide
• Optimised chipbreaker for stainless steels
• High edge stability on superalloys

Consistent performance in rostfreie Stähle and superalloys

The WSM23S grade, part of the Tiger‑tec Silver series, is a coated carbide developed for materials that challenge conventional tooling. Its chemistry and coating architecture promote thermal stability and reduce tendency to built-up edge when machining stainless steels (ISO group M) and heat-resistant alloys (ISO group S). For production environments where repeatable results matter, the combination of substrate and coating supports predictable tool life and fewer unexpected interruptions.

Reliable chip control and robust cutting edge

The integrated chipbreaker 3E425N02‑UF8 is tailored to enhance chip control on tough-to-machine materials, producing short, controllable chips and lowering re-cutting risk. Coating plus geometry ensure edge stability under elevated temperatures, while the concept of a coated grade means a thin, wear-resistant layer protects the substrate and delays flank wear. For operations that demand surface integrity and tool-change predictability, the engineered chip former brings measurable process benefits.

Productivity gains through process reliability

Designed for industrial turning applications, the geometry and grade deliver a balance between productivity and secure cutting behaviour. Reduced downtime and fewer tool changes translate into better throughput, especially in batch production or long single-piece runs. Backed by Walter Tools’ experience in precision cutting solutions, the insert supports stable machining strategies and contributes to lower unit costs through reliable performance and extended edge life.
