Drehwendeschneidplatte GX24-3E400N02-UF8 WSM23S — Turning insert with Tiger·tec Silver coating (Walter Tools)

A Drehwendeschneidplatte GX24-3E400N02-UF8 WSM23S designed for heavy-duty turning of difficult-to-machine alloys and rostfreier Stahl, providing stable cutting edges and consistent chip formation

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for thermal stability
• WSM23S grade for heavy-duty machining
• Chipbreaker 3E400N02-UF8 for reliable chip control
• Designed for rostfreier Stahl and superalloys

Higher productivity through thermal and edge stability

The combination of the Tiger·tec Silver technology and the WSM23S coated carbide grade delivers measurable advantages when turning demanding materials. The coating improves heat resistance and reduces flank wear, which means the insert maintains a cutting edge for longer periods and supports steady cycle times. In practice this results in fewer tool changes and lower machine downtime, contributing to a better cost-per-part ratio while retaining surface quality.

Predictable chip control for safer processes

The integrated chipbreaker 3E400N02-UF8 geometry promotes reproducible chip formation under high thermal and mechanical loads. Controlled chip evacuation reduces the risk of wire-like or tangled chips in continuous turning operations and helps to protect both the tool and the workpiece. For production environments that require process reliability, this turning insert delivers consistent chip behaviour and supports safer, more efficient machining routines.

Versatility for rostfreier Stahl and heat-resistant alloys

Specified for ISO groups M and S, the insert is optimised for rostfreier Stahl and heat-resistant superalloys including titanium-based materials. The substrate and coating combination is tailored to handle the tendency of these metals to work-harden or generate elevated cutting temperatures. As a result, the insert is suitable for tough turning tasks where stable chip formation and edge robustness are essential for repeatable quality.

Practical use and integration in production workflows

Geometry GX24-3E400N02-UF8 and the WSM23S grade provide a balance between toughness and wear resistance, enabling effective application across diverse part families. The insert is compatible with standard indexable turning toolholders designed for this geometry, simplifying replacement and stock management. With predictable life and repeatable performance, the component supports lean inventory planning and improves overall throughput in batch and continuous production.
