GX34-3E400N04-CF5 WSM43G – Turning indexable insert with Tiger‑tec Gold coating (Walter Tools)

GX34-3E400N04-CF5 WSM43G is a high‑performance turning insert engineered for stable cutting in rostfreier Stahl and high‑temperature alloys, optimised for secure chip formation and long tool life

• Tiger‑tec Gold coating for long edge life
• Optimised chip control with CF5 chipbreaker
• Suited to rostfreier Stahl and superalloys
• Precision ground geometry for stable cutting

Consistent performance for difficult materials

The WSM43G grade, part of the Tiger·tec Gold series, is formulated as a coated carbide cutting material to meet the demands of tough‑to‑machine workpieces. Its composition and coating technology increase heat resistance and reduce edge wear under thermal and mechanical stress, which translates into more predictable cycle times and fewer unplanned tool changes. When machining rostfreier Stahl and heat‑resistant superalloys, a combination of grade chemistry and surface treatment is critical: the insert’s design promotes secure chip formation and resists built‑up edge, helping maintain component quality through long production runs.

Design that improves process reliability

An integral part of the insert’s performance is the chipbreaker CF5 geometry. The CF5 profile guides chips away from the cutting zone, limits entanglement and reduces the risk of re‑cutting, which stabilises the cutting process and improves surface finish. The insert’s precision ground faces and rake geometry also support a stable cutting edge and consistent contact conditions at the tool‑workpiece interface. For workshops focused on repeatable outcomes, these design elements lower scrap rates and reduce downtime caused by tool failures.

Practical advantages on the shop floor

As an indexable turning insert, this solution reduces per‑part tooling cost by enabling economical index changes rather than full tool replacements. The WSM43G grade is categorised for the ISO material groups M (rostfreier Stahl) and S (superalloys & titanium), which means it is specifically intended for applications where heat generation and material toughness place extra demands on the cutting edge. For machinists less familiar with ISO groupings: M denotes stainless steels and similar alloys; S covers heat‑resistant superalloys and titanium, which typically require heat‑resistant grades and stable edge geometry to maintain productivity.

Compatibility and selection guidance

This insert is supplied by Walter Tools in the Tiger‑tec Gold series and is best selected when process goals include long edge life and secure chip control for rostfreier Stahl and high‑temperature alloys. Toolholders and cutting parameters should be matched to the insert geometry and workpiece class: moderate feeds and controlled cutting speeds often extend tool life in these materials. For tailored recommendations on cutting data, toolholder compatibility or nesting strategies in serial production, consult Metav Werkzeuge’s technical advisors to ensure optimum tool utilisation and process stability.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The GX34-3E400N04-CF5 WSM43G insert is designed for rostfreier Stahl and high‑temperature superalloys (ISO groups M and S), where heat resistance and stable chip control are required.

How does the CF5 chipbreaker affect machining?
The CF5 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation and directed chip evacuation, reducing re‑cutting and supporting a consistent surface finish when using the WSM43G grade.

Is the WSM43G grade suited to titanium machining?
Yes; WSM43G is categorised for S materials, which include titanium and heat‑resistant alloys, offering enhanced thermal stability and edge strength for these demanding applications.

Can this insert reduce tool change frequency?
By combining the Tiger·tec Gold coating with the robust WSM43G grade, the insert supports extended edge life and therefore fewer index changes, improving uptime in serial operations.

Who should be contacted for cutting data and holder compatibility?
Metav Werkzeuge can provide application‑specific cutting data and advise on suitable toolholders for the GX34-3E400N04-CF5 WSM43G insert.
