Indexable turning insert GX24-2E318N03-UF4 WKP23S — Tiger·tec Silver (Walter Tools)

The Indexable turning insert GX24-2E318N03-UF4 WKP23S is a coated carbide grade developed for productive turning of steel and cast iron, offering robust edge stability in serial and batch machining.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for longer tool life
• WKP23S grade tailored for steel and cast iron
• Stable chip control for consistent surface finish
• Suitable for high-speed and productive turning

Higher uptime through coated-grade endurance

The combination of Tiger·tec Silver technology and the WKP23S carbide grade delivers measurable improvements in tool life and edge stability. The advanced coating reduces abrasive wear and thermal degradation during turning, which translates into fewer insert changes and longer uninterrupted production periods. For operations that prioritise repeatable component quality, this insert reduces unexpected downtime and supports a predictable machining rhythm.

Controlled chips and improved surface quality

The built-in chipformer 2E318N03-UF4 promotes reliable chip control, limiting entanglements and enabling safer, higher-feed cuts. Consistent chip breaking reduces the need for manual intervention and lowers the risk of surface marks from errant chips. As a result, secondary finishing steps are less frequent and surface integrity is maintained across long production runs, supporting tighter process tolerances and less rework.

Economical cutting with stable wear behaviour

Designed for productive machining, the grade offers wear resistance that maintains cutting geometry over longer tool life. This stability supports cost-effective turning by spreading tooling cost over more components and by reducing machine idle time for insert changes. When process planners aim for efficient throughput, the insert’s combination of coating and carbide chemistry enables confident planning of cutting intervals and inventory levels.

Application guidance aligned with ISO material groups

The insert is specified for materials in ISO group P (steel) and K (cast iron), reflecting its balanced resistance to the typical heat and abrasion encountered with these workpiece families. The ISO classification clarifies suitability: P denotes a focus on steels where heat development and continuous chips occur, while K indicates adaptation to the abrasive and often discontinuous chipping of cast iron. For selection, pair the insert with a compatible turning grade and the correct toolholder geometry to exploit its chipformer and achieve the stated surface quality benefits.
