GX24-3F400N02TM-1 WBH20 indexable turning insert, CBN grade for hard machining — Walter Tools

The GX24-3F400N02TM-1 WBH20 is an indexable turning insert engineered for precision hard machining, designed specifically to handle high wear and high hardness applications in production environments

• CBN grade WBH20 for hard materials
• Optimal for hardened steels (H)
• Stable edge life under high wear
• Walter CBN series for consistent results

Maximum wear resistance for hard turning

The insert uses a CBN-based grade to address the most demanding hard‑turning tasks, providing markedly improved wear resistance compared with conventional carbide solutions. Because CBN tolerates high contact stresses and thermal loads, the result is a longer edge life and fewer tool changes, which supports continuous production and lowers overall process cost. The geometry identified by the code 3F400N02TM-1 contributes to controlled chip formation and consistent cutting behaviour when machining hardened steels.

Predictable process security and productivity gains

Adopting a CBN insert such as this one improves cycle time stability and reduces scrap rates through a more stable cutting edge and repeatable performance. The clear ISO-style designation simplifies tool selection and inventory management, making it easier to standardise processes across multiple machines. In practice, the enhanced stability of the cutting edge leads to fewer interruptions for regrinding or replacement, supporting higher throughput and better adherence to dimensional tolerances in series production.

Material compatibility and application guidance

The WBH20 grade is optimised for hardened steels and is suitable for pre‑hardened steel operations; depending on the specific cutting conditions and grade characteristics, the insert can also be applied to certain cast materials or high‑strength superalloys. CBN chemistry and the Walter CBN / Hartstoff series philosophy focus on stable chip formation and controlled wear, so the indexable insert is an excellent choice for components where surface integrity and tight geometric control are critical.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The GX24-3F400N02TM-1 WBH20 indexable turning insert (Walter Tools) is designed primarily for hardened steels and is suitable for pre‑hardened steel applications; grade‑dependent use on cast materials or some superalloys is possible.

How does the WBH20 grade compare with carbide alternatives?
WBH20, as a CBN grade, provides superior wear resistance and thermal stability compared with standard carbide inserts, making the Walter Tools insert preferable where high hardness and long tool life are required.

Is the chipbreaker code important for application setup?
Yes. The chipbreaker 3F400N02TM-1 defines chip control and cutting behaviour; this geometry supports stable chip formation and consistent cutting forces during hard turning operations.

Can this insert improve process reliability in series production?
Using the GX24-3F400N02TM-1 WBH20 from the Walter CBN series helps achieve more predictable tool life and fewer interruptions, which enhances overall process reliability and productivity.

Where can detailed application advice be obtained?
Application recommendations and further technical details for the GX24-3F400N02TM-1 WBH20 insert are available through Metav Werkzeuge; their consultants can assist with selection based on specific part materials and machine conditions.
