XPMT150512 AH9030 indexable insert for drilling – Tungaloy TungDrillTwisted, PVD-coated carbide

A compact indexable insert designed for use in the TungDrillTwisted family with TDX drill bodies, offering a PVD-coated carbide grade for wear resistance and a cylindrical hole with single-side countersink for secure clamping

• PVD-coated carbide AH9030 for wear resistance
• Sharp cutting edge for process security
• 1.2 mm corner radius for versatility
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

High-performance cutting with measurable gains

The XPMT150512 AH9030 plate is engineered for stable, productive drilling in a wide range of applications. The PVD-coated carbide provides enhanced abrasion resistance, which translates into longer tool life and fewer indexings per workpiece. Because the grade is designed to maintain a sharp cutting edge, cycle times stay consistent and surface finishes improve, reducing the need for rework. Integration into TDX drill bodies ensures repeatable positioning and simple plate replacement, supporting an optimised production flow.

Secure clamping and reliable geometry for repeatability

A robust clamping interface is achieved through the cylindrical hole with single-side countersink (40°–60°), providing precise seating in the drill body and minimising micro-movements under load. The 1.2 mm corner radius and an 11° relief angle balance strength and chip formation, allowing stable cutting at varying feeds while keeping the risk of edge chipping low. These geometric choices support process security especially in general drilling tasks where tool life and part consistency are priorities.

Practical benefits for workshop and production planning

Specifying this insert within the TungDrillTwisted system simplifies logistics: the family is differentiated by overhang/L‑D ratio and interface so that the correct combination of drill body, shaft and insert matches the machine, material and coolant strategy. The indexable design reduces handling time for regrinds and shortens downtime compared with brazed solutions. For operations aiming to increase throughput, the combination of grade and geometry offers a clear cost‑efficiency advantage over single‑use tooling.

Application range and material guidance

The PVD-coated grade AH9030 is optimised for drilling where a sharp edge and consistent performance are required, making it suitable for a broad variety of materials commonly encountered in metalworking. The plate’s one-sided chipbreaker and carbide substrate are a practical choice when controlled chip flow and reduced breakout are needed. When assembling the insert into TDX bodies, select diameter, L/D ratio and shaft configuration appropriate to the machine capability and cooling method to achieve the best results.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for? The XPMT150512 AH9030 insert is intended for general drilling tasks and, due to its PVD-coated carbide construction, is suitable for a wide range of metallic materials where a sharp edge and process stability are required.

How does the clamping hole design affect performance? The cylindrical hole with a single-side countersink (40°–60°) ensures secure seating in TDX drill bodies; this improves repeatability and reduces micro-movements that can lead to chipping or dimensional variation.

Can this insert be used in all TungDrillTwisted drill bodies? The insert fits the TungDrillTwisted family when the correct TDX drill body and interface are selected; match the L/D ratio, diameter and shaft to the machine and coolant setup for safe operation.

What is the benefit of the AH9030 coating? The AH9030 PVD coating offers enhanced wear resistance and helps maintain a sharp cutting edge, resulting in longer tool life and more consistent hole quality under typical drilling conditions.

Is the 1.2 mm radius suitable for finishing operations? A 1.2 mm corner radius provides a balance between edge strength and surface finish; it is versatile for productive drilling and can deliver improved surface quality compared with larger radii in many applications.
