GX24-3E400N04-UF4 WSM33S indexable insert – Tiger·tec Silver, for stainless steels & superalloys (Walter Tools)

The GX24-3E400N04-UF4 WSM33S is an indexable turning insert engineered for heavy-duty and heat-generating materials, offering a balance of thermal stability and edge security for demanding turning tasks.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for thermal stability
• WSM33S coated carbide grade
• Optimised chip formation for difficult alloys
• High edge stability for stainless steel

Reliable performance on heat-resistant and tough alloys

The insert delivers consistent results where temperature and material toughness challenge standard grades. Thanks to the Tiger·tec Silver technology and the WSM33S composition, the cutting edge resists thermal softening and wear, which reduces the risk of built-up edge and unexpected tool changes. This stability supports longer uninterrupted cycles and predictable tool life, helping to maintain throughput in production environments that machine stainless steels and nickel-based superalloys.

Improved chip control and process predictability

Built-in chipbreaker geometry and grade pairing enable controlled chip formation even with sticky or work-hardening materials. The optimised chip formation reduces the chance of entangling long chips while improving surface finish and protecting the toolholder and workpiece. For operations that demand repeatable results, the combination of coating and geometry contributes to fewer interruptions and a smoother process flow, translating into measurable time savings on complex turning operations.

Practical benefits for workshop selection and set-up

Selection is simplified by the clear material groups covered: ISO group M for stainless steels and ISO group S for heat-resistant superalloys and titanium. The insert’s coated carbide composition suits elevated cutting temperatures and mechanical loads; operators will appreciate predictable wear patterns and reduced regrinding frequency. Where application data is limited, the insert’s generalist strengths make it a sound first choice for mixed-material batches or jobs with variable cut conditions.

Why this insert matters for production quality

Stable cutting edges mean fewer rejects and better surface integrity on critical components. The insert’s balanced design helps maintain dimensional accuracy across runs and supports consistent surface quality, which is particularly important in sectors such as aerospace and medical component manufacturing. By prioritising edge stability and thermal resistance, the insert enhances both process reliability and final-part quality, thereby contributing to overall operational efficiency.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The GX24-3E400N04-UF4 WSM33S insert is designed for stainless steels (ISO group M) and heat-resistant superalloys or titanium (ISO group S), offering thermal resistance and edge stability.

What benefits does the Tiger·tec Silver technology provide?
Tiger·tec Silver on the WSM33S grade improves thermal resistance and wear behaviour, which helps maintain edge form and reduces the incidence of built-up edge during tough turning operations.

How does the insert support chip control?
The 3E400N04-UF4 chipbreaker geometry is optimised to produce short, controllable chips in difficult-to-machine alloys, improving surface finish and reducing risk to the toolholder.

Is this insert suitable for mixed-material production runs?
Yes, the combination of coated carbide and robust grade behaviour makes the insert a practical choice for mixed batches where both stainless steels and some superalloys are present.

Where can I get application-specific recommendations?
Metav Werkzeuge can advise on grade and geometry choice for specific parts and processes; contact the team to discuss cut data and holder compatibility.
