GX24-3E500N08-UF8 WSM23S — Indexable turning insert, Tiger·tec Silver (Walter Tools)

A GX24-3E500N08-UF8 WSM23S indexable turning insert engineered for heavy-duty turning of rostfreier Stahl and high-temperature superalloys, offering a balance of edge stability and controlled chip formation for demanding production environments

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for heat resistance
• WSM23S grade for tough alloys
• Optimised chip control with 3E500N08-UF8
• Stable cutting edge for long tool life

High-temperature stability that keeps production running

The combination of the Tiger·tec Silver technology and a coated carbide substrate gives this insert superior heat resistance and an improved resistance to abrasive wear. For components made from rostfreier Stahl and nickel-based superalloys, these properties reduce thermal loading on the cutting edge and slow flank wear, which directly translates into longer tool life and fewer interruptions on the machine. Operators and planning engineers benefit from fewer tool changes and a more predictable process window when working with heat-prone materials.

Reliable chip formation and dimensional consistency

The integrated chip control geometry, coded as 3E500N08-UF8, is designed to break and evacuate chips reliably during turning operations of tough materials. Controlled chip flow reduces the risk of recutting, surface damage and unexpected tool stress, enabling a consistent surface finish and repeatable dimensions on each workpiece. The grade WSM23S supports a stable cutting edge under high temperatures, which helps maintain tolerance chains and reduces rework rates in serial production.

Practical selection guidance for workshop use

Selection should consider workpiece material and cutting strategy: the WSM23S grade is particularly suited to rostfreier Stahl and heat-resistant superalloys where thermal and adhesive wear dominate. Choose the GX24-3E500N08-UF8 variant when reliable chipbreaking and edge strength are priorities. For integration, pair the insert with a compatible turning holder that secures the seat and supports positive clamping to exploit the stable cutting edge and to maximise productivity in both roughing and semi-finishing cycles.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for machining rostfreier Stahl?
Yes. The WSM23S grade and Tiger·tec Silver coating of the GX24-3E500N08-UF8 WSM23S insert are specifically designed to address the thermal and adhesive tendencies of rostfreier Stahl, supporting stable cutting and extended tool life.

Which workpiece materials match the insert’s capabilities?
The insert performs best on rostfreier Stahl and high-temperature superalloys (ISO groups M and S); the combination of coating and grade is tuned to maintain cutting-edge integrity under elevated temperatures.

How does the 3E500N08-UF8 chipbreaker improve production?
The 3E500N08-UF8 chipbreaker provides consistent chip segmentation and evacuation, reducing recutting and surface damage, which leads to fewer interruptions and more repeatable component quality when turning tough materials.

Can the insert be used for both roughing and finishing?
Depending on cutting data and holder rigidity, the GX24-3E500N08-UF8 WSM23S insert can be applied in roughing and semi-finishing operations where edge stability and controlled chip formation are required; adjustments to feed and depth of cut will determine the optimal use.
