GX24-3E500N08-UD4 WSM33S Drehwendeschneidplatte — Tiger·tec Silver coating, for rostfreier Stahl & superalloys (Walter Tools)

The GX24-3E500N08-UD4 WSM33S is a turning insert engineered for stable performance when machining rostfreier Stahl and heat-resistant superalloys, combining a coated carbide grade with a dedicated chipbreaker for predictable results.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for improved wear resistance
• Optimised 3E500N08-UD4 chipbreaker for stable chips
• Designed for rostfreier Stahl and heat-resistant alloys
• Robust cutting edge for extended tool life

Enhanced wear resistance for demanding materials

The WSM33S grade from the Tiger·tec Silver family is a coated carbide designed to resist thermal and abrasive wear during interrupted or continuous turning of demanding alloys. The specialised coating delivers a balanced hardness and toughness combination, which supports secure chip control and reduces the tendency for built-up edge when processing rostfreier Stahl. This results in longer index intervals and fewer tool changes, improving overall process efficiency.

Predictable chip formation and surface quality

The integrated chipbreaker 3E500N08-UD4 was developed to control chip shape and evacuation under moderate to heavy cutting conditions. A stable chipflow reduces machine downtime caused by entanglement and simplifies swarf handling. The consequence is a more consistent surface finish and reduced rework. For operations where surface integrity and repeatability are critical, the insert’s geometry contributes directly to cycle-time reductions and improved component conformity.

Robust cutting edge for higher productivity

A mechanically strong cutting edge and the thermal resilience of the grade contribute to long tool life and steady cutting performance. The insert’s construction supports higher metal-removal rates in appropriate setups while maintaining edge stability, which benefits throughput and lowers tooling costs per part. The combination of edge robustness and coating technology promotes predictable wear behaviour across batch and serial production runs.

Practical notes for application and handling

This turning grade is compatible with standard indexable insert toolholders designed for the respective geometry family. While the insert excels on rostfreier Stahl and superalloys, adhesion-prone materials require suitable cutting fluids and adjusted feeds to avoid built-up edge. Inserts from this series can be used in roughing and finishing passes depending on the chosen cutting parameters and machine capability. For specific holder recommendations or cutting-data windows, consult the technical advisors at Metav Werkzeuge or the Walter Tools documentation.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for machining stainless steels?
Yes. The GX24-3E500N08-UD4 WSM33S insert is specified for rostfreier Stahl and provides balanced wear resistance and edge stability for those materials.

What is the benefit of the Tiger·tec Silver coating?
The Tiger·tec Silver coating on the WSM33S grade increases thermal and abrasive wear resistance, which extends insert life and supports consistent performance in demanding turning tasks.

Which chipbreaker should be chosen for heavy roughing?
The integrated 3E500N08-UD4 chipbreaker on this insert is optimised for stable chip control under more aggressive cuts; selection should be confirmed against the workpiece material and machine rigidity.

Can this insert be used for titanium alloys?
The insert’s grade is designed for heat-resistant materials; it can machine titanium and similar superalloys when feeds, speeds and cooling strategies are adjusted accordingly.

How does the insert impact overall productivity?
By providing a robust cutting edge and controlled chip formation, the insert reduces index frequency and improves cycle repeatability, contributing to measurable productivity gains in series production.
