SX-4E400N02-CE4 WSM23S turning & milling indexable insert — Tiger‑tec Silver by Walter Tools

The SX-4E400N02-CE4 WSM23S is a coated indexable insert designed for heavy-duty machining of stainless steel and high-temperature alloys, offering optimised chip control and a durable cutting edge.

• Tiger‑tec Silver coating for heat resistance
• Optimised chipformer 4E400N02‑CE4
• Grade WSM23S for stainless steel and S materials
• Stable cutting edge and long tool life

Greater process security through coating and grade

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Silver coating and the WSM23S grade delivers a measurable improvement in machining consistency when working with stainless steel and heat-resistant alloys. The coating provides a thermal barrier and reduces adhesion at the cutting edge, while the grade chemistry is tailored for high-temperature stability. For production environments that demand repeatable results, this insert reduces the frequency of edge failures and supports steady cycle times, translating into fewer interruptions on the shop floor and enhanced overall equipment effectiveness.

Predictable chip control and improved surface quality

The 4E400N02‑CE4 chipformer is engineered for controlled chip breaking and evacuation under demanding conditions. Controlled chip formation reduces the risk of built-up edge and protects the geometry of the toolholder and workpiece. As a consequence, manufacturers can expect more consistent surface finishes and reduced secondary operations. In practice, the chipformer shape helps to guide chips away from the cut, which simplifies coolant management and keeps tool paths clear, supporting higher productivity in continuous operations.

Application-focused benefits and easy integration

As a coated carbide solution within the Tiger‑tec Silver series, the insert is intended for roughing and semi-finishing of stainless steel and S-class materials such as titanium and nickel‑based superalloys. The design supports reliable feed rates at elevated temperatures and is compatible with common clamping systems for indexable inserts. Selection of the correct geometry and cutting parameters will further enhance tool life; consult the grade and chipformer data to match cutting speeds and feeds to the specific alloy. The result is durable performance with predictable wear behaviour and fewer unplanned tool changes.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert suitable for?
The SX-4E400N02-CE4 WSM23S insert is suitable for stainless steel and S-class materials (heat-resistant superalloys and titanium) as indicated by its grade and chipformer design.

What does the Tiger‑tec Silver coating provide?
The Tiger‑tec Silver coating on the WSM23S grade improves thermal resistance and reduces adhesion at the cutting edge, increasing tool life during high-temperature machining.

For which machining tasks is the 4E400N02‑CE4 chipformer optimised?
The 4E400N02‑CE4 chipformer is optimised for roughing and semi-finishing operations where controlled chip breaking and evacuation are critical to maintain process stability.

Can this insert achieve good surface quality on stainless steel?
Yes — when combined with appropriate geometry and cutting parameters, the SX-4E400N02-CE4 WSM23S supports improved surface finishes through reduced built‑up edge and consistent chip formation.

What distinguishes the WSM23S grade from general-purpose grades?
WSM23S is a coated cemented carbide grade developed for thermal stability and edge robustness in demanding materials, offering longer life under high temperatures compared with standard grades.
