Robust grade and coating for long tool life

The combination of WSM23S and Tiger·tec Silver coating provides enhanced thermal stability and wear resistance compared with uncoated grades. This coated carbide formulation is engineered to reduce adhesion and flank wear when machining materials classified as group M (rostfreie Stähle) and group S (heat‑resistant superalloys and titanium). In practice, the result is a more predictable tool life and fewer unscheduled tool changes, which supports steady production flow and lowers per‑component machining costs. For operators unfamiliar with coating technologies: a coated insert adds a thin, hard layer to the substrate to improve heat and wear performance without altering basic insert geometry.

Controlled chips and reliable cutting performance

The integrated chipbreaker 3E500N02-UF8 is optimised to shape and evacuate chips consistently, reducing the risk of built-up edge and surface damage. Stable chip control improves surface finish and reduces secondary operations, while consistent cutting forces help maintain process stability on CNC lathes. The insert’s geometry works in concert with the coating and grade to maintain a sharp, durable cutting edge during interrupted cuts and heavy engagement typical for tougher stainless and nickel‑based alloys. These features contribute directly to higher throughput and reproducible component quality.

Practical application guidance for production environments

This indexable insert is suitable for a variety of turning strategies where process security and productivity matter most. It integrates with standard negative‑geometry toolholders compatible with the GX24 family designation; selection of appropriate cutting data (speed, feed and depth) depends on the machine rigidity and workpiece batch sizes. When machining group M materials, reduce cutting speeds compared with mild steel and ensure reliable coolant or lubrication to manage heat. The insert supports machining strategies that prioritise surface integrity and repeatable results, making it a practical choice for job shops and production lines handling corrosion‑resistant and high‑temperature alloys.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The GX24-3E500N02-UF8 WSM23S insert is designed primarily for stainless steels (ISO group M) and for heat‑resistant superalloys and titanium (ISO group S), where thermal resistance and edge stability are required.

How does the Tiger·tec Silver coating benefit machining?
The Tiger·tec Silver coating increases thermal stability and reduces adhesive wear, extending edge life during prolonged cutting of tough, heat‑generating materials.

Which chipbreaker does this insert use and why is it important?
This insert features the 3E500N02-UF8 chipbreaker, engineered for consistent chip formation and evacuation to protect the cutting edge and improve surface finish.

Is the insert compatible with standard GX24 toolholders?
The ISO designation aligns with the GX24 family; compatibility should be confirmed against the holder catalogue and clamping specifications for safe, secure mounting.

Can this insert be used for heavy roughing operations?
Yes — the WSM23S grade and reinforced coating are developed to withstand higher thermal and mechanical loads common in heavy material removal, provided machine and clamping rigidity are adequate.
