Indexable turning insert GX24-3E400N04-UA4 WKP13S – Tiger·tec Silver for steel and cast iron, Walter Tools

GX24-3E400N04-UA4 WKP13S is an indexable turning insert from Walter Tools, engineered with Tiger·tec Silver coating to ensure high wear resistance and reliable cutting performance in steel and cast iron turning operations.

• Tiger·tec Silver coated carbide grade WKP13S
• Optimised for steel and cast iron machining
• Stable cutting edge and controlled chip formation
• Suitable for high-productivity turning

High productivity and extended tool life through advanced coating

The Tiger·tec Silver coating combined with the WKP13S carbide gives a measurable boost to tool life and consistent performance under industrial conditions. The layered coating reduces abrasive wear and thermal load on the cutting edge, which translates into fewer tool changes and higher spindle utilisation. For series production and batch runs, this results in reduced downtime and a more predictable production rhythm while keeping surface finish quality stable.

Reliable chip control for efficient machining cycles

The chipbreaker code 3E400N04-UA4 is designed to regulate chip geometry and evacuation when machining both continuous and breaking chips. Controlled chip formation minimises workpiece rework and reduces the risk of tool or machine interruption. The built-in chip control behaviour complements the coated carbide substrate to maintain a consistent cutting zone, improving process repeatability and reducing the need for secondary operations.

Broad material coverage with ISO P and K suitability

Designed for the ISO material groups P (steel) and K (cast iron), the insert supports a wide range of turning tasks from general steel components to abrasive cast iron parts. The grade’s composition and the Tiger·tec Silver technology balance toughness and hardness to cope with the typical heat generation and wear mechanisms in these material groups. This versatility simplifies tool selection and helps standardise inserts across multiple applications.

Process security and economical performance for production shops

Stable cutting edges and the optimised coating-to-substrate pairing ensure predictable tool behaviour under varying cutting parameters. That reliability fosters higher machine throughput and lower scrap rates, which together contribute to a favourable cost-per-part metric. Backed by Walter Tools’ engineering, the insert is suited to companies aiming for reproducible results and a reduction in tooling-related process variability.
