Indexable Turning Insert GX24-2F300N02TM-1 WBH20 – CBN grade for hardened steels (Walter Tools)

The Indexable Turning Insert GX24-2F300N02TM-1 WBH20 is a CBN‑based indexable insert engineered for productive hard machining of hardened and pre‑hardened steels.

• CBN grade WBH20 for hard machining
• High wear resistance and stable cutting edge
• Optimised chipformer for consistent results
• Designed for hardened steels (ISO H)

Delivering stable performance for hard turning

The WBH20 cutting grade is a CBN cutting material developed for demanding, high‑wear applications. Its composition provides high wear resistance and a stable cutting edge, which reduce flank wear and extend tool life when machining hardened steels. In practical terms, fewer tool changes and longer service intervals improve spindle uptime and lower production interruptions. The insert’s geometry supports predictable engagement with the workpiece, ensuring reproducible results in serial production and finishing tasks.

Consistent chip control and surface quality

The integrated chipbreaker (designation 2F300N02TM-1) is optimised to produce short, controllable chips under the high cutting forces typical of hard machining. Reliable chip formation contributes to steady cutting forces and enhances process reliability, which in turn helps to maintain surface integrity and minimise rework. For engineers less familiar with CBN, this means the insert converts the abrasive nature of hard materials into manageable chips, enabling stable turning at higher feeds or during extended runs without compromising finish.

Application scope and process advice

This insert is intended primarily for the machining of hardened and pre‑hardened steels (ISO group H), making it suitable for component finishing, hard turning of bearings, shafts and heat‑treated parts, or where high dimensional stability is required. The Walter CBN / Hartstoff series offers consistent edge behaviour across serial batches, aiding tool‑path planning and cycle time estimation. For tailored process parameters and to align the insert with specific machine or clamping conditions, Metav Werkzeuge’s technical advisors can provide cutting data and optimization tips to achieve the best combination of tool life and surface quality.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The insert is suitable for hardened steels (ISO group H) and for pre‑hardened steel applications, with the WBH20 CBN grade specifically developed for hard‑machining tasks.

How does the WBH20 grade differ from conventional carbide inserts?
WBH20 is a CBN cutting material engineered for high abrasiveness and thermal stability; compared with carbide it offers superior wear resistance and edge stability when turning hard and heat‑treated steels.

Which chipbreaker is used and what benefit does it provide?
The insert uses the 2F300N02TM‑1 chipbreaker, optimised for short, controllable chips to improve process reliability and surface finish during hard turning.

Is this insert suitable for finishing operations?
Yes, the controlled edge behaviour and robust CBN grade make this insert well suited to finishing and semi‑finishing of hardened components where dimensional accuracy and surface quality are critical.
