Turning indexable insert GX24-3F400N04-UF4 WSM33S — Tiger·tec Silver for stainless steels and superalloys (Walter Tools)

The GX24-3F400N04-UF4 WSM33S is an indexable turning insert designed for machining rostfreiem Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys, offering robust chip control and thermal stability in demanding turning operations

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for thermal stability
• WSM33S grade for difficult materials
• 3F400N04‑UF4 chipbreaker for predictable chips
• Suitable for rostfreiem Stahl and superalloys

Boosted productivity through stable cutting performance

The Tiger·tec Silver coating together with the WSM33S carbide designation provides a balance between wear resistance and toughness that supports longer cutting intervals. For production environments where component consistency matters, this combination reduces unplanned stops by promoting stable edge life and controlled wear behaviour. The insert’s engineered surface treatment improves resistance to heat‑induced softening, which means operators can maintain effective cutting speeds without sacrificing tool life. This outcome translates into more predictable cycle times and a smoother production flow for medium‑ and high‑mix turning tasks.

Confident machining of stainless steels and superalloys with controlled chips

Materials such as rostfreiem Stahl and high‑temperature superalloys strain the cutting edge through adhesion, built‑up edge and poor heat conduction. The 3F400N04‑UF4 chipbreaker is optimised to break and evacuate swarf reliably, reducing the risk of entanglement and improving surface finish. By promoting consistent chip formation, the insert lowers the likelihood of secondary damage to the workpiece and downstream operations. The result is a reproducible machining process with better part quality and fewer reworks, especially on components that demand tight tolerances and intact surface integrity.

Practical integration for workshop and production use

The geometry and grade selection make the insert straightforward to adopt in conventional turning setups without extensive process requalification. The GX24‑3F400N04‑UF4 geometry supports predictable cutting forces and makes tool selection easier for process planners aiming to standardise insert families across several part types. When combined with routine tool‑holder checks and correct cutting data, this insert helps to reduce machine downtime and supports continuous, repeatable performance. For specific cutting parameters or assistance adapting the insert to existing tool‑holders, technical advice is available to ensure the best compromise between productivity and tool life.
