TNMG160412 AH8015 turning insert by Tungaloy — PVD-coated carbide, 60° triangular

The TNMG160412 AH8015 is an ISO triangular turning insert designed for general external and internal turning of heat-resistant alloys, offering robust edge stability and predictable chip formation.

• ISO TNMG 160412 geometry, 60° triangular
• PVD-coated carbide for wear resistance
• Double-sided chipbreaker for flexible cutting
• Cylindrical hole for secure clamping

Consistent machining performance for general turning

The insert delivers steady cutting behaviour in a wide range of turning operations. The combination of a PVD-coated carbide substrate and the AH8015 grade provides a balanced mix of edge robustness and wear resistance, reducing tool changes and improving process reliability. For operations in moderate-to-high temperatures, this composition helps maintain cut quality and extends productive runtime.

Improved chip control and secure clamping for safer cycles

Equipped with a double-sided chipbreaker, the component permits adaptable chip formation depending on material and cutting parameters. The central cylindrical hole ensures stable seating and repeatable clamping in compatible holders, which minimises vibration and supports consistent surface finish. These features together lower the risk of unplanned downtime and simplify tool management in batch production.

Material and coating advantages explained

The AH8015 grade denotes a PVD-coated carbide formulation optimised for heat-resistant alloys and general-purpose applications. PVD coating forms a thin, wear-resistant layer that reduces adhesion and edge wear, while the carbide core supplies the necessary toughness. In practical terms, this means more consistent part tolerances and fewer interrupted cycles when machining demanding alloys.

System compatibility and application guidance

As an ISO-series insert, compatibility with a holder depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The 60° triangular shape with a 1.2 mm corner radius is suitable for a mix of profile and finishing cuts; the 4.76 mm thickness contributes to stiffness under load. Select the chipbreaker and grade to match the workpiece, machining type and machine stability for optimal results.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for? The TNMG160412 AH8015 insert is formulated for the general machining of heat-resistant alloys and offers balanced wear resistance and edge stability for such materials.

Can the insert be used for both external and internal turning? Yes, the ISO TNMG geometry and the double-sided chipbreaker allow the insert to be applied to both external and internal turning when the holder provides the correct clearance and support.

How does the PVD coating benefit machining performance? The PVD coating on the AH8015 grade reduces adhesive wear and improves edge life, resulting in more consistent surface finish and fewer tool changes for the TNMG160412 insert.

What should be considered when selecting a holder? Holder compatibility depends on form, free angle, tolerance class, fastening and size; ensure the holder matches the TNMG160412 geometry and the insert thickness for secure clamping.

Is the 1.2 mm corner radius suitable for finishing? A 1.2 mm corner radius provides a balance between strength and finish; for fine finishing a smaller radius may be chosen, while 1.2 mm offers increased edge robustness for mixed operations.
