GX24-3E400N04-UF4 WSM23S indexable turning insert — Tiger‑tec Silver, Walter Tools

the GX24-3E400N04-UF4 WSM23S is a coated carbide indexable turning insert engineered for secure chip formation and thermal stability when machining stainless steels and heat-resistant superalloys

• Tiger‑tec Silver coated carbide technology
• Grade WSM23S for stainless and superalloys
• 3E400N04‑UF4 chipbreaker for stable chips
• Suitable for heavy-duty turning operations

Higher process stability for tough materials

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Silver coating and the WSM23S grade delivers improved resistance to thermal loading and wear. The coated carbide substrate is designed to slow heat transfer to the cutting edge, which reduces edge degradation during long cuts in stainless steels and superalloys. This translates into fewer unscheduled tool changes and a steadier surface finish, supporting more predictable cycle times and higher throughput.

Consistent chip control and secure edge life

The 3E400N04‑UF4 chipbreaker geometry promotes stable chip formation, helping to avoid built-up edge and chip entanglement in demanding turning tasks. Stable chips reduce the risk of rework and part damage while maintaining cutter integrity. For practical operations, this means improved tool life and less variability in finishing passes, enabling tighter process control and a reduction in overall machining costs.

Application-focused benefits across ISO groups M and S

Engineered for ISO groups M (stainless steels) and S (heat-resistant superalloys and titanium), the insert supports machining strategies where thermal stability and edge strength are paramount. The grade’s balance between toughness and hardness allows for reliable performance in materials that tend to work‑harden or generate high cutting temperatures. When combined with appropriate feeds and depths of cut, the insert helps maintain dimensional accuracy and surface integrity on critical components.

Productivity and integration in workshop processes

As a high-performance indexable insert from Walter Tools, the design emphasises repeatability and process security. The coated carbide and chipbreaker work together to lower the frequency of tool changes and to stabilise output quality, which supports leaner production routines. For procurement and planning, adoption of this insert can contribute to more uniform tool inventories and simplified cutting parameter setups across batches and machine platforms.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The GX24-3E400N04-UF4 WSM23S insert is suitable for stainless steels (ISO group M) and for heat-resistant superalloys and titanium (ISO group S), where thermal resistance and edge stability are required.

What does the WSM23S grade mean in practice?
WSM23S denotes a coated carbide grade within the Tiger‑tec Silver family, optimised for secure chip control and extended edge life when machining difficult-to-cut materials.

How does the 3E400N04‑UF4 chipbreaker affect machining?
The 3E400N04‑UF4 chipbreaker is designed to deliver stable chip formation, reducing the risk of built-up edge and facilitating continuous machining without chip-related interruptions.

Can this insert be used for heavy roughing operations?
Yes; the combination of WSM23S and the Tiger‑tec Silver coating supports robust turning tasks where heat generation and edge load are high, making it suitable for many heavy-duty roughing applications.

Is the insert compatible with standard indexable toolholders?
The insert is an industry-standard indexable turning insert intended for conventional toolholders that accept the GX24 family geometry; verification of seat and clamping compatibility is recommended before fitting.
