VCMT160408-PS AT9530 indexable turning insert — cermet grade for finishing, rhombic shape, 35° cutting geometry (Tungaloy)

A VCMT160408-PS AT9530 indexable turning insert designed for finishing and light turning of steel, combining a rhombic profile with a precise 0.8 mm corner radius for improved surface finish and controlled wear

• Cermet grade AT9530 for high surface quality
• Rhombic shape with 35° cutting geometry
• 0.8 mm corner radius for fine finishes
• ISO-standard insert for broad holder compatibility

Improved surface finish with cermet technology

The coated cermet grade AT9530 is formulated for finishing and light machining of steel where surface quality and uniform wear are paramount. Cermet substrates combine ceramic hardness with metallic toughness, enabling a sharper cutting edge and reduced built-up edge during low- to medium-speed finishing passes. This results in a more consistent surface finish and fewer secondary operations, supporting efficient production runs and predictable part quality.

Compatibility and secure clamping for stable turning

The insert adheres to ISO-standard form VCMT and is supplied with a central hole configured as a cylindrical hole plus a single-side countersink (40°–60°), ensuring compatibility with common clamping systems. Compatibility to an insert holder is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixation method, size and thickness; choosing the corresponding external holder or boring bar and the correct clamping set keeps the insert stable and minimises vibration for better dimensional control.

Geometry and chip control tailored to finishing tasks

A rhombic plate form combined with a 35° cutting geometry and the PS chipbreaker supports controlled chip formation during finishing cuts. The 0.8 mm corner radius balances edge strength with the ability to produce fine profiles and narrow corner radii on workpieces. For applications prioritising surface integrity and minimal rework, this combination reduces the risk of edge chipping while preserving the delicate geometry required for high-quality turned surfaces.

Handling, selection and operational benefits

With an insert thickness of 4.76 mm and a nominal size of 16 mm, the component fits common ISO toolholders and is straightforward to index and replace, reducing downtime. The coated AT9530 grade promotes even wear progression across the cutting edge, which simplifies tool life monitoring and planning. When matched to suitable feeds and depths for finishing passes, the insert helps maintain cycle consistency and lowers the need for frequent tool interventions, contributing to predictable throughput.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for? This insert is designed for finishing and light turning of steel; the AT9530 cermet grade focuses on surface quality and even wear during such operations.

Which holder type is compatible with this insert? Compatibility depends on ISO form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixation method, size and thickness; select a holder or boring bar that matches the VCMT form and the insert's 16 mm size and 4.76 mm thickness.

How does the AT9530 grade affect tool life and finish? The AT9530 coating provides a sharp, wear-resistant cutting edge that promotes consistent wear patterns, improving surface finish and enabling predictable tool life during finishing passes.

Can the insert be used for roughing operations? This insert is optimised for finishing and light machining; for heavy roughing, consider grades and geometries specifically designed for higher stock removal.

Is a specific chipbreaker required for finishing applications? The PS chipbreaker integrated on this insert supports controlled chip formation during finishing cuts and helps maintain surface integrity.
