VCMT 160408 AH8015 – ISO turning insert for heat‑resistant alloys, PVD‑coated carbide, 35° rhombic

VCMT 160408 AH8015 is an ISO‑standard indexable insert developed for general turning applications, offering a PVD‑coated carbide grade tailored to machining heat‑resistant alloys in both external and internal turning.

• PVD‑coated carbide grade AH8015
• Balanced wear resistance and edge stability
• Rhombic 35° geometry for ISO holders
• 0.8 mm corner radius with centring hole

Reliable cutting performance for hard‑to‑machine alloys

The insert is produced in a PVD‑coated carbide grade (AH8015) designed as a first choice for the general machining of heat‑resistant alloys. This coating and substrate combination delivers a compromise between wear resistance and edge stability, which translates into longer useful tool life and fewer interruptions for insert changes. The result is improved process uptime and consistent component quality when facing elevated temperatures and abrasive chip conditions.

Geometry and holder compatibility that simplify tooling decisions

Featuring a rhombic geometry with a 35° cutting angle and a 0.8 mm corner radius, the insert supports fine finishing and medium‑duty roughing where a small nose radius is required. The plate conforms to ISO standard dimensions and uses a cylindrical hole with one‑sided countersink (40°–60°) for secure clamping. Key dimensions such as size 16 mm, thickness 4.76 mm and the 7° relief angle determine the correct mating with standard holders; compatibility depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening and thickness, which helps users match the right holder quickly and reliably.

Practical application and process benefits in the workshop

Equipped with a PSS chipbreaker, the insert is suitable for both external and internal turning where controlled chip formation is essential. Selecting the correct chipbreaker and grade based on workpiece material and machine stability reduces rework and improves cycle time. The concise geometry and robust substrate make the insert a practical option for job shops and production cells seeking repeatable results and straightforward inventory management — technical advisers can recommend the ideal holder and cutting data for specific setups.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The VCMT 160408 AH8015 insert is designed primarily for heat‑resistant alloys, with the AH8015 PVD‑coated carbide offering a balanced performance for elevated temperature machining.

Which chipbreaker is fitted and what is its purpose?
This specification uses the PSS chipbreaker, which is tuned to promote stable chip formation during turning and to reduce the risk of long, entangling chips in both external and internal operations.

How does the geometry affect machining performance?
The rhombic 35° geometry combined with a 0.8 mm corner radius reduces cutting forces and improves surface finish potential; these features are particularly beneficial when precision and repeatability are required.

What should be checked for holder compatibility?
Compatibility is determined by the insert form, clearance (relief) angle, tolerance class, fastening and both size and thickness; check that the holder matches these parameters to ensure secure clamping and correct tool orientation.

Is this insert suitable for finishing operations?
Yes, with its small corner radius and stable edge characteristics, the insert can be used for finishing, provided the cutting data and machine stability are adapted accordingly.
