SX-4E400L6-CE4 WSM33G Turning indexable insert – optimised for stainless steels and superalloys | Walter Tools

The SX-4E400L6-CE4 WSM33G is an indexable turning insert from the Tiger·tec Gold range, designed for heavy-duty machining of stainless steels and heat-resistant superalloys, offering robust edge stability and reliable chip formation.

• Tiger·tec Gold coating technology
• Optimised for stainless steel and superalloys
• Coated carbide grade WSM33G
• Stable cutting edge and reliable chip control

Maximise process reliability with a coating engineered for heat and adhesion resistance

The Tiger·tec Gold coating delivers a combination of hardness and toughness that reduces the tendency for built-up edge when machining stainless steels and other adhesive alloys. As a coated carbide grade, WSM33G balances wear resistance with fracture toughness, which means longer tool life and fewer interruptions for insert changes. This results in a more consistent surface finish and reduced rework in demanding turning operations.

Secure chip control that protects the tool and workpiece

The integrated chipbreaker geometry (4E400L6-CE4) promotes predictable chip formation even under high thermal load. Controlled chips lower the risk of workpiece damage and reduce machining cycle variability. For production environments where repeatability matters, the combination of geometry and stable cutting edge ensures safer swarf evacuation, easier handling and fewer machine stoppages.

Application-focused grade for difficult-to-machine materials

The insert grade is tailored for the ISO groups M and S, making it suitable for rostfreier Stahl (stainless steel) and heat-resistant superalloys or titanium alloys depending on the tool geometry. In practice, this means the insert supports secure chip formation where thermal conductivity is low and cutting temperatures are high, helping to maintain dimensional accuracy and surface integrity on critical components.

Practical benefits for shop-floor productivity

Using this indexable insert reduces downtime through extended edge life and consistent performance, contributing to higher productivity per shift. The coated hardmetal composition and the Tiger·tec Gold technology enable stable machining across a broad material spectrum, simplifying tooling decisions and lowering the number of changeovers required for mixed-material batches.
