TNMA 160404 T515 — Turning insert (ISO‑standard triangular) for turning, Tungaloy

The TNMA160404 T515 is an ISO‑standard triangular turning insert designed for economical machining of cast iron in external and internal turning applications.

• ISO triangular insert design
• CVD‑coated carbide grade T515
• Optimised for economical cast iron machining
• 0.4 mm corner radius for versatile profiling
• Compatible with ISO clamping systems

Increased efficiency for cast‑iron turning

The triangular insert offers a balance of cutting edge strength and versatility, making it well suited to repetitive operations on cast iron. The CVD‑coated substrate of grade T515 provides improved wear resistance and consistent surface quality under steady cutting conditions, supporting longer tool life and fewer interruptions. For operations where cycle time and repeatability matter, the combination of coating and carbide base yields measurable productivity gains and predictable replacement intervals.

Secure geometry and easy holder compatibility

The triangular form with a 60° included angle and a 0.4 mm corner radius provides robust edge support for standard turning profiles. The insert is supplied without chipbreaker, with a cylindrical locating hole, and a plate thickness of 4.76 mm, so compatibility with the toolholder depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. Where quick tool changes are required, selecting an ISO‑compatible clamping system ensures precise seating and repeatable positioning, reducing setup time and scrap.

Predictable productivity and application guidance

Because the grade is tailored for cast iron machining, stable chip formation and consistent wear behaviour can be expected under appropriate conditions. The insert’s carbide substrate and CVD finish help maintain cutting edge integrity during continuous cuts; interrupted cuts or unstable set‑ups may require different chip control or grades. For matching holders, recommended feed and speed ranges, or advice on replacing chipbreakers, consult our technical team — this ensures the insert is used where it performs best and contributes to a lower overall cost per component.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The TNMA160404 T515 insert is optimised for machining cast iron; its CVD‑coated carbide composition offers improved wear resistance for this material.

Is the insert compatible with standard ISO holders?
The insert follows ISO dimensions for triangular turning plates, but compatibility is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; verify holder specifications before fitment.

Does the insert include a chipbreaker?
This variant is supplied without chipbreaker; for controlled chip formation in specific operations, a version with an appropriate chipbreaker is recommended.

What are the key geometric data to check for mounting?
Check the plate size (16 mm), thickness (4.76 mm), corner radius (0.4 mm) and the cylindrical hole specification to ensure accurate seating and clamping.

How does the T515 grade affect tool life?
The T515 CVD coating improves wear resistance and edge stability during continuous cutting on cast iron, contributing to more predictable tool life and consistent surface finish.
