CNMG 160608 AH8005 Tungaloy — ISO rhombic turning insert for stable machining

The CNMG160608 AH8005 Tungaloy insert is an ISO‑standard rhombic turning insert intended for external and internal turning, designed to excel on heat‑resistant alloys and other hard materials.

• ISO-standard rhombic insert
• PVD-coated carbide AH8005
• Double-sided chipbreaker design
• Cylindrical hole for secure clamping

Consistent cutting performance for demanding materials

The insert’s PVD-coated carbide grade AH8005 provides elevated wear resistance, which reduces flank wear and maintains edge integrity under thermal load. The coating, applied by physical vapour deposition, forms a thin, hard layer that improves substrate protection without compromising sharpness; this results in fewer interruptions for tool changes and a more predictable process. The benefit is a more efficient production flow and reduced scrap rates during turning of heat‑resistant alloys.

Productivity gains through predictable tool life

A double-sided chipbreaker and a rhombic geometry enable two cutting edges per index, supporting economical tool usage and stable chip formation. The insert is part of an ISO-standard system where compatibility with the toolholder is ensured by matching form, free angle, tolerance class, fastening and thickness; this modular approach simplifies inventory and shortens set‑up times. Predictable tool life translates into lower unit costs and improved spindle utilisation in batch and single‑piece machining alike.

Secure mounting and precise engagement with the workpiece

The insert features a cylindrical hole and a standard thickness that facilitate firm clamping and repeatable positioning in compatible holders. Key dimensions such as 6.35 mm thickness, 16 mm inscribed circle, and a 0.8 mm corner radius support robust engagement and edge strength for medium to heavy cuts. The insert’s 80° lead angle and 0° free angle contribute to consistent cutting forces, which helps to stabilise the machining process and to protect both the workpiece and the toolholder from undue vibration.

Practical guidance for turning applications

This grade and geometry are recommended for turning where material hardness and temperature resistance demand a wear‑resistant carbide; suitable operations include both external and internal turning, with the chip‑forming features matched to the machining stability. In practice, selecting the correct chipbreaker and ensuring rigid set‑up are the primary measures to exploit the insert’s advantages; the modular ISO system allows replacement inserts to be swapped with minimal downtime, supporting continuous production targets.
