• Optimised chip control geometry
• Suitable for rostfreier Stahl and superalloys

Durable coating and grade for extended tool life

The combination of Tiger‑tec Silver technology and the WSM43S grade provides a coated carbide surface engineered for elevated temperatures and abrasive wear. This results in a pronounced improvement in heat resistance and a stable cutting edge, which together reduce the frequency of index changes and contribute to uninterrupted production runs. The coating supports higher cutting speeds while maintaining a predictable wear pattern, helping to protect machine uptime and improve overall throughput.

Designed for rostfreier Stahl and demanding alloys

Machining rostfreier Stahl and superalloys places high thermal and mechanical loads on the cutting edge. The insert’s substrate and coating balance toughness and hardness to counteract built‑up edge formation and thermal softening. As a consequence, the insert ensures reliable chip control and consistent surface finish when turning tough materials. For workshops processing components in aerospace, energy or medical manufacturing, this behaviour translates into fewer rejects and lower rework effort.

Geometry tailored for consistent chip formation

The design encoded in 3E400N04‑UF4 focuses on secure chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces during turning operations. The chipbreaker geometry promotes short, controllable chips that clear the machining zone, lowering the risk of chip entanglement and improving operator safety. In combination with a stable cutting edge, this geometry allows for dependable performance in both continuous and intermittent cuts, which supports predictable cycle times and easier process planning.

Productivity and process reliability as operational benefits

Using a grade that emphasises edge integrity and coating performance leads directly to improved productivity: longer index life, fewer tool changes and more consistent part quality. The insert’s behaviour helps to standardise setups across batches, simplifying tool management and reducing variance in machining results. For production environments where reproducibility and uptime matter, the insert contributes to measurable process improvements and supports leaner operating practices.
