VCMT 160404 AH8005 – Turning insert, PVD‑coated cemented carbide, 35° (Tungaloy)

A VCMT 160404 AH8005 ISO rhombic insert for general turning, optimised for stable machining of heat‑resistant alloys and other hard materials

• VCMT 160404 AH8005 rhombic insert PVD‑coated
• 35° lead angle for versatile turning
• 0.4 mm corner radius for fine profiling
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

Stable cutting performance for demanding turning tasks

The insert delivers consistent results in external and internal turning thanks to its PVD‑coated cemented carbide substrate and defined geometry. The combination of a 35° lead angle and a 0.4 mm corner radius produces reliable contact conditions that reduce vibration and support repeatable cutting forces. For facilities running mixed batches or tough alloys, this leads to higher first‑pass quality and fewer rework operations, improving overall throughput and process stability.

Material and coating that extend tool life

The cutting grade AH8005 is a wear‑resistant PVD coating applied to a carbide substrate, selected for machining heat‑resistant alloys and other hard materials under stable conditions. The PVD layer improves thermal and abrasive resistance, which means longer edge life when compared with uncoated grades in similar applications. Explaining PVD simply: a thin, hard coating is deposited to protect the carbide core from heat and abrasive wear, yielding better economy per edge in serial production.

Compatibility and system advantages for workshop integration

Dimensionally the insert matches ISO standards and is compatible with standard clamping systems when the holder form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness are aligned. The plate thickness of 4.76 mm, nominal size 16 mm, and the rhombic configuration make it easy to integrate into established toolholders or boring bars. The insert is supplied as part of a system concept that includes the ISO insert, a suitable external holder or boring bar, a shim/locking set and replacement screws so that set‑up time is predictable and inventory manageable.

Chip control and application guidance for reliable results

This grade is paired with the PSS chipbreaker, developed for effective chip formation in the intended materials and cutting conditions. Selecting the correct chipbreaker and cemented carbide grade reduces the risk of built‑up edge, improves surface finish and simplifies post‑process handling. For best results, match feed and speed to the workpiece and the rigidity of the set‑up; stable cutting conditions will exploit the AH8005 advantages and preserve the cutting edge for extended running times.

FAQ

What materials is this insert designed to machine?
The VCMT 160404 AH8005 insert is intended for machining heat‑resistant alloys and other hard materials under stable conditions; the AH8005 grade and PVD coating enhance wear resistance in such work.

How does the AH8005 grade differ from standard grades?
AH8005 is a wear‑resistant, PVD‑coated cemented carbide grade engineered for elevated temperatures and abrasive conditions, offering longer tool life and consistent edge security compared with uncoated or general‑purpose grades.

Will this insert fit existing holders?
Compatibility is determined by form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness; the VCMT 160404 conforms to ISO dimensions and will fit holders that match those parameters.

What are the key dimensional specifications to check?
Key values: lead angle 35°, corner radius 0.4 mm, thickness 4.76 mm, nominal size 16 mm, and the hole style (cylindrical with 40°–60° countersink).

Which chipbreaker should be chosen for mixed material batches?
The PSS chipbreaker supplied on VCMT160404‑PSS is optimised for the stated material range; chipbreaker selection should consider material, cutting mode and stability to ensure controlled chip formation.
