GX24-3E500N04-UD4 WSM33S Drehwendeschneidplatte – Tiger·tec Silver grade by Walter Tools

The GX24-3E500N04-UD4 WSM33S is an indexable turning insert engineered for heavy duty machining of stainless steels and heat‑resistant superalloys, offering wear resistance and stable edge performance under thermal stress

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for high heat resistance
• WSM33S grade optimised for stainless and superalloys
• Chipbreaker geometry 3E500N04-UD4 for reliable chip control
• Robust cutting edge for extended process stability

Exceptional grade for tough materials and longer tool life

The WSM33S grade, realised through the Tiger·tec Silver coating technology, provides a technical edge when machining demanding alloys. Coated cemented carbide combines a thermally resistant surface with a tough substrate to reduce wear rates and mitigate edge degradation under elevated temperatures. This results in extended tool life and fewer interruptions in production, which supports predictable cycle times and lower total machining costs. The formulation targets materials classified as M (stainless steels) and S (heat‑resistant superalloys, titanium), where reliable heat management and stable edge behaviour are critical for avoiding built‑up edge and premature tool failure.

Precise chip control that improves surface quality

The insert’s chipbreaker, designated 3E500N04‑UD4, is designed to form short, controllable chips in a wide range of turning operations. A consistent chip flow reduces the risk of workpiece damage and minimises the need for secondary cleaning, thus improving first‑pass yield. For operators transitioning from uncoated grades, this geometry helps maintain a consistent surface finish and simplifies handling at the machine, particularly in interrupted cuts and variable engagement conditions. The controlled chip evacuation also contributes to safer, more efficient production cycles and reduces downtime caused by chip entanglement.

Practical machining benefits and process integration

As a turning indexable insert, the component integrates into standard toolholders for straightforward replacement and repeatable positioning, enabling stable tolerances over serial production. The coated carbide structure supports both roughing and finishing when the correct insert geometry and cutting parameters are chosen; the selection of the WSM33S grade is particularly advantageous for operations where heat generation and work hardening are concerns. For process planners, this means fewer tool changes and greater consistency across batches. If additional machining data or recommendations for holder compatibility are required, Metav Werkzeuge’s technical advisors are available to assist with application matching and parameter optimisation.

Reliability, brand backing and workshop confidence

Manufactured by Walter Tools, this turning insert reflects a focus on process reliability and repeatable results. Using a well‑matched grade and chipbreaker reduces the incidence of unexpected tool wear, contributing to predictable maintenance intervals and more efficient production planning. The product’s design emphasis on chip control and thermal resilience addresses two of the most common causes of machining variability when working with stainless steels and superalloys, supporting higher uptime and consistent part quality.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The GX24-3E500N04-UD4 WSM33S insert is specified for stainless steels (ISO group M) and heat‑resistant superalloys/titanium (ISO group S), where thermal resilience and edge stability are required.

How does the Tiger·tec Silver coating help in machining?
The Tiger·tec Silver coating provides improved heat resistance and wear performance on the insert, helping to maintain a stable cutting edge under elevated temperatures and reducing tool change frequency.

What is the role of the 3E500N04‑UD4 chipbreaker?
The 3E500N04‑UD4 geometry promotes reliable chip breaking and evacuation, which enhances surface finish and reduces the risks associated with long, tangled chips in turning operations.

Can this insert be used for both roughing and finishing?
Yes; depending on the chosen cutting parameters and holder setup, the coated WSM33S grade can be applied across roughing and finishing stages to balance productivity and surface quality.

Where can application support or further data be obtained?
Technical application support and supplementary machining data are available from Metav Werkzeuge; their advisors can help match the insert to the correct holder and process conditions.
