GX24-2E318N02-UF8 WSM23S – Drehwendeschneidplatte (Tiger·tec Silver) for stainless steel and superalloys by Walter Tools

The GX24-2E318N02-UF8 WSM23S is an indexable turning insert optimised for demanding turning tasks in stainless steel and heat‑resistant superalloys, combining a high‑temperature coating with a geometry tuned for reliable chip formation

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for heat-resistant cutting
• WSM23S grade for stable cutting edges
• Optimised chipformer 2E318N02-UF8 for secure chip control
• Ideal for stainless steel and superalloys

Reliability for hard-to-machine materials that stabilises production

The combination of the Tiger·tec Silver coating and the WSM23S carbide grade provides enhanced heat resistance and edge stability, which directly benefits machining of stainless steel and superalloys. The coating reduces thermal softening of the cutting edge, leading to more consistent tool life and fewer unplanned tool changes. For process planning, this means fewer interruptions and a more predictable production flow, particularly on operations where material adhesion and work‑hardening are critical concerns.

Chip control and geometry that reduce rework and downtime

The specified chipformer 2E318N02‑UF8 is designed to promote controlled chip breakage and evacuation under typical turning conditions for these material groups. Controlled chip behaviour lowers the risk of surface damage and tool wear escalation, which improves surface finish and reduces secondary operations. In practice, this geometry helps maintain stable cutting forces and supports reliable repeatability across workpieces, enabling higher first‑pass quality and reduced cycle time variability.

Process security and productivity advantages for industrial workshops

As part of the Tiger·tec Silver series, this insert supports higher cutting temperatures and extended cutting times compared with uncoated grades, resulting in better overall productivity and fewer tool interventions. The material group compatibility (S / M) indicates suitability for both stainless steel and heat‑resistant superalloys or titanium, allowing a single grade to cover multiple applications and simplifying inventory management. The outcome is improved machine uptime and consistent component quality across batch‑sized production.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The GX24-2E318N02‑UF8 WSM23S insert is suitable for stainless steel and for heat‑resistant superalloys (material groups S / M), with performance depending on the chosen geometry.

How does the Tiger·tec Silver coating improve performance?
Tiger·tec Silver increases thermal resistance and reduces edge softening, so the WSM23S grade maintains a stable cutting edge for longer under elevated temperatures.

Is this insert intended for finishing or roughing operations?
The insert geometry and WSM23S grade are balanced to offer stable performance across both finishing and more demanding roughing cuts in stainless steel and similar alloys.

Which chipformer does the insert use and why does it matter?
The insert uses the 2E318N02‑UF8 chipformer; it promotes controlled chip breakage and evacuation, which reduces surface damage and tool wear escalation during turning.

Can this grade reduce tooling variety in a workshop?
Yes, the WSM23S grade covers both stainless steel and certain superalloys, allowing consolidation of tooling stocks for similar applications while maintaining process reliability.
