GX24-3E500N04-UF4 WKP23S indexable turning insert — Tiger‑tec Silver, for steel & cast iron | Walter Tools

The GX24-3E500N04-UF4 WKP23S is an indexable turning insert engineered for productive turning of steel (P) and cast iron (K), offering a coated carbide grade optimised for stable chip formation and extended tool life

• Tiger‑tec Silver coating for durable edge
• Designed for steel and cast iron machining
• Stable chip formation and high process security

Increased productivity through a resilient coating and grade

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Silver coating and the WKP23S carbide grade delivers measurable gains in productivity by reducing flank wear and improving edge stability. The coating technology enhances wear resistance, which extends the tool life under typical steel and cast iron turning conditions. For production environments that prioritise uptime, the insert’s engineered surface reduces the frequency of index changes and supports longer uninterrupted runs while maintaining consistent component quality.

Reliable chip control and consistent surface results

Equipped with the specified chipbreaker geometry (3E500N04‑UF4), the insert promotes stable chip formation, lowering the risk of built-up edge and erratic chip shapes that can affect surface finish. The geometry is designed to manage the heat and chip flow characteristic of both unalloyed and alloyed steel as well as abrasive cast iron, which helps achieve reproducible workpiece surfaces and reduces secondary operations. This stability contributes directly to predictable cycle times and improved process security on turning centres.

Application clarity for planning and tool selection

The grade is classified for material groups P and K in accordance with ISO guidelines, indicating suitability for a broad range of steels and cast irons. The insert’s specifications are particularly useful for planners and machinists who require demonstrable material compatibility when setting cutting data. With its focus on a balance between edge robustness and coating performance, the insert supports operations that need a compromise between high material removal rates and surface quality, making it a versatile choice for mixed production shops.

Simplified procurement and production integration

As an indexable turning solution from Walter Tools’ Tiger‑tec Silver series, the insert integrates into standard turning tool holders that accept the GX24 geometry. The documented grade and chipbreaker designation support tool selection workflows and inventory management, enabling maintenance of consistent quality standards across multiple machines. The clear designation of the WKP23S sort simplifies reordering and ensures the same material characteristics are supplied for repeat jobs.
