GX24-3E400N04-UD6 WSM23S Drehwendeschneidplatte — Tiger·tec Silver, coated carbide, for rostfreier Stahl and superalloys | Walter Tools

GX24-3E400N04-UD6 WSM23S is a coated carbide turning insert from the Tiger·tec Silver series, optimised for demanding applications in rostfreier Stahl and heat-resistant superalloys.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for temperature stability
• WSM23S grade for secure chip formation
• Optimised for rostfreier Stahl and superalloys
• Stable cutting edge for consistent productivity

Reliable edge life for demanding materials

The insert’s Tiger·tec Silver technology combines a wear-resistant coating with a robust substrate to provide stable cutting edge behaviour under elevated temperatures. This results in extended tool life when machining materials prone to work hardening, such as rostfreier Stahl and nickel-based alloys. For production environments where predictable tool performance is essential, the coated carbide construction reduces the frequency of index changes and supports consistent part quality.

Predictable chip control and surface finish

The geometry identified as 3E400N04-UD6 is engineered to promote reliable chip formation and evacuation. Improved chip control reduces interruptions from built-up edge and chip entanglement, which in turn lowers the risk of surface defects and unplanned machine stops. For operators and process planners, this translates into fewer rejects and a steadier cycle time, enhancing overall productivity on turning operations.

Suited for rostfreier Stahl and heat-resistant alloys

Rated for material groups M and S, the grade WSM23S is tailored to handle the challenges of rostfreier Stahl as well as heat-resistant superalloys and titanium. The alloy-specific behaviour—poor heat conduction and tendency to strain-harden—necessitates an insert that maintains edge integrity and resists adhesion. The combination of substrate and coating in this insert supports these requirements, enabling reliable machining where conventional grades may fail prematurely.

Practical benefits for workshop and CAM programming

Integrating this indexable plate into production offers tangible process advantages: reduced tool changeover times, improved reproducibility of turning cycles and fewer secondary operations for surface remediation. For CAM programming, the stable cutting forces and predictable wear pattern simplify cycle-time estimation and feeder logic. The insert’s designation and series make it straightforward to specify in tool lists and ERP systems, supporting efficient procurement and inventory control.
