WNMG080412 T5115 Tungaloy indexable insert — CVD-coated carbide, trigon 80°

The WNMG080412 T5115 Tungaloy insert is an ISO-standard turning insert designed for external and internal turning, optimised as a universal grade for cast-iron machining.

• CVD-coated carbide for wear resistance
• Universal grade optimised for cast iron
• Trigon 80° form for versatile turning
• 1.2 mm corner radius for robust edges

Consistent cutting performance for cast-iron work

The combination of a CVD-coated carbide substrate and the T5115 grade delivers a balanced mix of wear resistance and edge stability that suits a wide range of cast-iron applications. The coating improves surface hardness and reduces flank wear, which results in longer tool life and fewer index changes. For production environments, this translates into more predictable cycle times and reduced tool consumption. The grade is formulated to maintain cutting-edge strength under interrupted cuts and moderate to demanding feeds, ensuring that the cutting edge remains stable even when machining variable cast-iron batches.

Clear compatibility and secure clamping for predictable results

This insert is manufactured to ISO dimensions, so compatibility with holders depends on the insert form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The trigon shape with an 80° lead and a cylindrical hole requires a matching trigon seat and fastening system; correct pairing prevents unwanted movement and secures repeatable geometry. When selecting a holder, consider the specified clearance angle of 0° and the plate thickness of 4.76 mm to ensure correct support. Proper matching reduces vibration, improves surface finish and minimises the risk of edge chipping.

Practical advantages from geometry and chip control

The 1.2 mm corner radius increases edge robustness and helps withstand higher radial loads, which is advantageous for semi-finish and finish passes. The double-sided chipbreaker design supports efficient chip formation and evacuation, particularly in cast-iron turning where short, controllable chips are preferred. A trigon form offers three cutting edges per index position, improving cost efficiency by allowing multiple reindexes. Together, these features support higher uptime and lower consumable costs, while the universal nature of the grade permits application across a broad spread of cast-iron components.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert best suited for?
The WNMG080412 T5115 insert is optimised for machining cast iron, where the T5115 grade provides a balanced mix of wear resistance and edge stability.

How does the chipbreaker affect machining?
The double-sided chipbreaker on this Tungaloy insert promotes short, controllable chips in cast-iron operations, improving evacuation and reducing the risk of built-up edge.

What does the 1.2 mm corner radius mean for cutting strategy?
A 1.2 mm corner radius increases the insert’s edge strength, allowing for higher feed rates and more robust finishing passes with reduced incidence of edge chipping.

Is the insert compatible with ISO holders?
Yes. The insert follows ISO dimensions; compatibility depends on matching form, size, thickness, clearance angle and fastening method to the chosen holder.

How many usable edges does the insert provide?
The trigon form and double-sided design allow multiple index positions per insert, improving cost-efficiency by providing several cutting edges before disposal.
