TPMX 170408 AH9130 – Tungaloy triangular indexable insert for drilling, PVD‑coated carbide, 60°

TPMX 170408 AH9130 is an indexable triangular insert developed for drilling applications, combining a wear‑resistant grade with chip control for reliable process performance.

• PVD-coated carbide grade AH9130
• Triangular insert, 60° geometry BG
• 0.8 mm corner radius for sharp edge
• Optimised for drilling with indexable systems

Longer tool life through advanced coating and carbide grade

The insert uses a PVD-coated AH9130 hardmetal grade deposited on a carbide substrate to provide enhanced wear resistance and improved edge stability. This combination reduces flank and crater wear under continuous drilling loads, which prolongs tool life and lowers the frequency of insert changes. For operations where a consistently sharp cutting edge is required, the coating and substrate interaction helps maintain cutting performance and process reliability throughout the component batch.

Consistent hole quality via precise geometry and chip control

A defined 60° geometry together with the 0.8 mm corner radius ensures repeatable engagement with the workpiece and supports stable cutting forces during entry and exit. The integrated chipbreaker BG assists in fragmenting and evacuating chips effectively, which reduces the risk of built-up edge and prevents re-cutting. As a result, surface finish and roundness are improved while vibration and tool deflection are minimised, yielding more predictable hole tolerances in serial production.

Simple integration into indexable drilling systems and safe handling

The insert is intended for use in indexable drill bodies and must be matched to the drill diameter and insert seat; the system comprises the drill body, matching insert, clamping screw and key as standard. This design permits quick indexation and repeatable seating of the cutting edge, reducing setup time and ensuring consistent positioning. The triangular plate form also provides multiple cutting corners, enabling rapid rotation to a fresh edge and maximising usable life per insert.

Application focus and process security

Designed specifically for drilling with indexable plate tools, the grade is described as wear‑ and chipping‑resistant, making it suitable where a sharp cutting edge and process security are simultaneously required. Prior to series machining, verify insert geometry against the drill body and seat dimensions to ensure correct fit and secure clamping. The result is a balanced solution that supports productive machining cycles while preserving component quality.

FAQ

Which drill bodies are compatible with this insert?
Compatibility depends on the drill body insert seat and diameter; the TPMX 170408 AH9130 is designed for indexable drilling systems and should be matched to the drill body and clamping screw specified by the system manufacturer.

What benefits does the AH9130 grade offer in drilling?
The AH9130 grade provides wear resistance and chipping resistance for drilling, combining a PVD coating with a carbide substrate to maintain a sharp cutting edge and secure process performance.

How often can the insert be indexed before replacement?
The triangular TPMX insert offers multiple cutting corners; indexing frequency depends on material, cutting data and application. Monitor edge wear and reindex when surface finish or hole tolerance degrades.

Is the 0.8 mm corner radius suitable for deep-hole drilling?
A 0.8 mm corner radius supports a sharp edge and stable engagement; suitability for deep-hole drilling depends on drill design and cutting parameters—verify with the drill body and machining strategy before use.
