TNMG160408 AH8015 — Turning insert (PVD-coated carbide) by Tungaloy

The TNMG160408 AH8015 is an ISO-standard triangular indexable turning insert designed for external and internal turning operations, offering a balance between wear resistance and cutting-edge stability for heat-resistant alloys.

• TNMG160408 ISO triangular turning insert
• PVD-coated carbide grade AH8015
• Designed for heat-resistant alloys
• Double-sided chipbreaker, cylindrical hole

Consistent cutting performance for heat-resistant alloys

The PVD-coated AH8015 grade is tailored to provide a balance between wear resistance and edge stability, making the insert particularly suited to machining heat-resistant alloys where thermal loads and abrasive wear are common. The PVD-coated carbide substrate reduces flank wear and helps maintain a predictable cutting edge under elevated temperatures, which translates into consistent surface finish and extended tool life. For production environments seeking repeatable component quality, this performance profile reduces unscheduled tool changes and supports stable cycle times.

ISO compatibility and secure clamping to reduce downtime

Built to ISO standards, the TNMG form ensures straightforward matching with ISO-designated holders; compatibility is governed by shape, clearance angle, tolerance class, attachment method, size and thickness. The insert features a cylindrical central hole and standard mounting geometry so that the correct outer holder or boring bar and the appropriate shim and clamping set can be selected without trial-and-error. The plate thickness of 4.76 mm and the triangular layout simplify inventory management and replacement procedures, while precise tolerances contribute to secure clamping and repeatable tool positioning in the toolholder.

Efficient chip control and economical tooling strategy

A double-sided chipbreaker provides reliable chip formation across both cutting edges, and the 0.8 mm corner radius gives a good compromise between edge strength and dimensional accuracy at the cutting edge. The insert’s double-sided design doubles the available cutting edges per index, lowering the cost per edge and improving overall economy in high-volume machining. Selecting the right chipbreaker and grade for the workpiece material and cutting conditions supports efficient chip evacuation and helps to avoid built-up edge or thermal distortion, which in turn reduces rework and scrap rates.
