GX24-3E400N04-GD6 WSM23S — Indexable turning insert with Tiger·tec Silver coating by Walter Tools

The GX24-3E400N04-GD6 WSM23S is an indexable turning insert engineered for heavy-duty turning of stainless steels and heat-resistant superalloys, offering robust edge stability and optimised chip control.

• Tiger·tec Silver coated carbide grade WSM23S
• Optimised for stainless steels and superalloys
• Stable cutting edge for secure chip formation
• Chipbreaker 3E400N04-GD6 for controlled chips

High-performance machining for demanding materials

The Tiger·tec Silver coating combined with the WSM23S grade provides a coated carbide solution developed for materials that generate heat and tend to work harden, such as stainless steels and nickel-based alloys. This configuration reduces flank wear and supports longer tool life under elevated cutting temperatures. The immediate benefit is predictable cycle times and reduced tool change frequency, which contributes directly to improved throughput on production turning operations.

Reliable chip control and surface quality

The dedicated chipbreaker geometry (3E400N04-GD6) delivers controlled chip formation, reducing the risk of built-up edge and erratic chip behaviour during interrupted cuts. For the workshop, this means fewer secondary operations and a more consistent surface finish on each component. The controlled chips also ease parts handling and post-process cleaning, supporting leaner workflows and safer machine interaction.

Edge stability under thermal and mechanical load

Designed to withstand high thermal loads, this insert focuses on stable cutting edge retention and reduced notch wear in aggressive turning applications. The coated carbide construction mitigates adhesive wear and maintains edge integrity during prolonged engagement with hard-to-machine alloys. The technical effect is lower process variability and improved repeatability part-to-part—benefits that are measurable in reduced scrap rates and better first-pass yield.

Integration into production and technical support

Selection of the correct insert geometry and grade is crucial for maximising life and economy in series production. The insert is compatible with common indexable toolholders and can be matched to cutting parameters for finishing or roughing tasks. For complex component materials or specialised turning operations, technical advice is available to tailor cutting data, ensuring the grade and chipbreaker are used to their full potential and the machining process remains efficient.
