GX24-3E500N25-RF7 WSM23S Indexable Turning Insert – Tiger·tec Silver, for stainless steel and superalloys (Walter Tools)

The GX24-3E500N25-RF7 WSM23S is an indexable turning insert designed for stable, high-temperature machining of stainless steel and heat-resistant alloys, optimised for demanding production environments.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for high thermal resistance
• WSM23S grade for stainless steel and superalloys
• Optimised 3E500N25-RF7 chip control
• Stable cutting edge and extended tool life

Higher process security through heat-resistant coating

The advanced Tiger·tec Silver coating combines thermal resilience with a low-friction surface, which leads to improved cutting-edge stability when facing the thermal loads typical of stainless steel and nickel-based alloys. For production managers this means fewer unscheduled tool changes and a more predictable machining outcome. The coating's behaviour under heat reduces adhesion and supports consistent chip formation, making it easier to maintain tolerances in series production.

Grade selection explained: why WSM23S matters

The WSM23S grade is a coated carbide formulation tuned for materials classified under ISO groups M and S. In practice, this means the substrate and coating system prioritise resistance to edge degradation and thermal softening. Operators new to these materials benefit from the grade’s balance between toughness and wear resistance: the result is reliable cutting performance across interrupted cuts and stable surface finish on complex geometries without sacrificing tool life.

Chip control and geometry benefits for smoother turning

The insert’s 3E500N25-RF7 chipbreaker geometry is engineered to produce short, manageable chips in a variety of turning conditions, limiting chip entanglement and improving coolant access. Better chip control reduces manual intervention at the machine and supports higher effective cutting parameters, contributing directly to productivity gains. When paired with a suitable holder, the geometry also helps maintain a steady contact between tool and workpiece, preserving the intended surface integrity.

Practical handling and integration in production workflows

This indexable insert fits standard toolholders compatible with the GX24 geometry and is supplied as a ready-to-use cutting edge solution, simplifying inventory management. The combination of coated carbide and optimised chipbreaker reduces the need for frequent regrinds and complex parameter tuning, which supports shorter setup times and a more efficient workflow. For procurement teams, the insert’s brand reliability from Walter Tools underpins consistent delivery and documented material classification.
