GX24-3E500N08-UF4 WSM33S turning insert — coated carbide for stainless steels and superalloys, Walter Tools

The GX24-3E500N08-UF4 WSM33S is a coated indexable turning insert engineered for heavy‑duty machining of rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys, offering stable cutting edges and reliable chip control in industrial turning applications.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for high thermal stability
• Optimised chipbreaker 3E500N08-UF4 for reliable chips
• Ideal for stainless steels and superalloys
• Consistent edge life for productive turning

Maximise process reliability with a thermally resilient coating

The combination of the Tiger·tec Silver technology and the WSM33S cemented carbide grade provides elevated thermal resistance and wear stability. This results in a reduced tendency to build up material on the cutting edge when machining stainless steels and high‑temperature alloys. The coating architecture improves heat management at the cutting zone, which in turn supports consistent edge life and reduces unplanned tool changes. For production environments where predictable tool performance is essential, the coating‑substrate pairing contributes directly to increased machine uptime and repeatable component quality.

Predictable chip control through a dedicated chipbreaker geometry

The 3E500N08‑UF4 chipbreaker geometry is optimised for secure chip formation in tough‑to‑cut materials. The geometry promotes short, segmented chips and prevents long, stringy swarf that can interrupt productivity or damage workpiece surfaces. In practical terms, the chip design reduces the need for secondary chip handling equipment and supports safer, cleaner machining cycles. Clear advantages include fewer stoppages for chip removal and improved surface finish stability, which together enhance throughput and lower manufacturing variability.

Suited materials and ISO classifications explained

This insert is formulated for ISO groups M and S — namely stainless steels (M) and heat‑resistant superalloys and titanium (S). Materials in these families typically generate high temperatures at the cutting edge and demand both thermal stability and robust edge integrity. The WSM33S grade balances hardness and toughness to resist crater wear and chipping under those conditions. For users less familiar with metallurgical terms: a grade that resists high temperatures helps maintain a sharp, intact cutting edge for longer, which translates to fewer tool changes and more consistent part tolerances.

Productivity gains and application scenarios in production

Integrated into a turning toolholder system, this indexable plate supports medium to heavy roughing and finishing passes on components such as shafts, flanges and housings made from rostfreier Stahl and nickel‑based alloys. The insert’s stable edge life and controlled chip flow make it suitable for shops focused on repeatability and high output. By using a tool grade tuned to the workpiece family and a chipbreaker matched to the machining strategy, manufacturers can expect measurable improvements in cycle time and surface quality, which contribute directly to cost‑efficiency and customer satisfaction.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The GX24‑3E500N08‑UF4 WSM33S insert is designed primarily for stainless steels (ISO group M) and heat‑resistant superalloys/titanium (ISO group S), providing thermal stability and edge robustness for these demanding materials.

How does the Tiger·tec Silver coating benefit machining?
The Tiger·tec Silver coating increases heat resistance and reduces wear at the cutting edge, so the WSM33S grade maintains consistent edge life and supports prolonged tool performance in high‑temperature cutting conditions.

Which chipbreaker is used and why does it matter?
The insert employs the 3E500N08‑UF4 chipbreaker, which promotes short, controllable chips suitable for automated and manual turning operations, enhancing safety, surface finish and process reliability.

Is this insert suitable for both roughing and finishing?
Yes; thanks to the balance of toughness and wear resistance in the WSM33S grade, the plate can be used for medium to heavy roughing and for finishing passes when the machining parameters and toolholder setup are optimised.
