SX-5E500N04-CE4 WKP23G indexable turning/milling insert — Tiger‑tec Gold, for steel and cast iron | Walter Tools

The SX-5E500N04-CE4 WKP23G is a versatile indexable insert designed for productive machining of steel and cast iron in turning and milling operations.

• Tiger‑tec Gold coated carbide grade WKP23G
• Optimised chip control geometry 5E500N04-CE4
• Suitable for steel (P) and cast iron (K)

Increase uptime with durable coated carbide

The Tiger‑tec Gold coating in combination with the WKP23G grade delivers a measurable improvement in tool life compared with uncoated alternatives. The multilayer coating reduces adhesive and abrasive wear, which helps to maintain edge integrity during longer cuts. As a result, machine uptime increases and tool-change intervals extend, supporting continuous production runs and lower tooling costs per part.

Reliable chip control for consistent surface quality

The insert features the 5E500N04-CE4 chipbreaker geometry, developed to produce stable, short chips when machining both steel and cast iron. Stable chip formation reduces the risk of part rework and protects the cutting edge from irregular loading. For shops moving between workpiece types, this means fewer process adjustments and a more consistent surface finish across batches.

Clear material coverage and application benefits

Engineered for the ISO groups P (steel) and K (cast iron), the grade balances toughness and wear resistance to handle typical heat and chip behaviour encountered in these materials. For steel components the toughness avoids premature chipping, while for cast iron the abrasive resistance counters particle-induced wear. This targeted performance makes the insert a practical choice for mixed-production environments where flexibility and repeatability are essential.

Straightforward integration into existing toolholders

The insert's ISO designation and geometry allow simple replacement in standard toolholders for both turning and face‑milling operations, enabling fast changeovers and predictable cutting conditions. The combination of coated carbide and proven chipbreaker design supports machining strategies that favour higher cutting speeds and stable feeds, helping to increase throughput without compromising process safety.
