GX24-3E500N03-CE4 WKP23S indexable turning insert — Tiger·tec Silver for steel and cast iron | Walter Tools

The GX24-3E500N03-CE4 WKP23S is an indexable turning insert from the Tiger·tec Silver series, designed for productive turning of steel (P) and cast iron (K) with optimised chip control.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for long tool life
• WKP23S grade optimised for steel and cast iron
• Stable chip formation under varied cutting conditions
• Consistent edge integrity for productive turning

Increase process reliability through advanced coating technology

The Tiger·tec Silver surface treatment delivers improved wear resistance and thermal stability compared with conventional coatings, which directly benefits cycle times and tool change intervals. By combining a coated carbide substrate with an engineered surface layer, the insert maintains a sharper cutting edge under the heat and abrasion typical when machining steels and cast irons. This results in fewer interruptions for tool replacement and a steadier production flow.

Predictable chip control for safer, cleaner machining

Equipped with the 3E500N03-CE4 chipbreaker geometry, the insert ensures controlled chip formation during turning operations in both P and K material groups. Controlled chips reduce the risk of workpiece damage and machine downtime, while simplifying chip handling and disposal. The geometry is optimised for the typical breakage behaviour of steel and the abrasive, short chips from cast iron, improving overall productivity and operator safety.

Robust edge stability for consistent surface finishes

The WKP23S carbide grade is formulated to balance toughness and hardness, delivering edge stability that supports repeatable surface quality. In practical terms, this means fewer reworks and a higher first-pass yield when producing turned components. The combination of grade and coating helps absorb transient loads and resists abrasive wear, which is particularly advantageous for longer tool life in continuous production runs.

Practical fit into workshop toolchains

The insert’s ISO designation and standard geometry make it straightforward to integrate into existing toolholders and machining cycles. Its suitability for unalloyed and alloyed steels as well as cast iron allows one insert type to cover multiple applications, simplifying inventory and reducing tool management complexity. The result is a pragmatic balance between flexibility and process optimisation that supports efficient shop-floor logistics.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The GX24-3E500N03-CE4 WKP23S insert from Walter Tools is suitable for steel (P) and cast iron (K) according to the ISO material groups described for the grade.

How does the 3E500N03-CE4 chipbreaker improve machining?
The 3E500N03-CE4 chipbreaker is shaped to promote controlled chip breakage, improving chip evacuation and reducing the likelihood of entanglement during turning with this Walter Tools insert.

Can this insert be used for roughing and finishing operations?
The WKP23S grade and Tiger·tec Silver coating provide a balance of toughness and wear resistance that supports both productive roughing and consistent finishing, depending on the chosen cutting parameters.

Is the insert compatible with standard indexable turning toolholders?
The ISO-style designation and standard geometry of the GX24-3E500N03-CE4 make it compatible with commonly used toolholder systems for indexable turning inserts.

What performance benefits can be expected compared with an uncoated carbide insert?
Compared with uncoated carbide, the coated Tiger·tec Silver grade typically shows enhanced wear resistance and thermal stability, leading to longer tool life and more consistent surface quality in serial turning operations.
