TNMG 160402 AT9530 TNMG turning insert — finishing cermet by Tungaloy

The TNMG160402 AT9530 is an ISO-standard triangular turning insert designed for fine and light finishing of steel components, offering a coated cermet grade optimised for surface quality and even wear.

• ISO-standard TNMG form for broad compatibility
• Coated cermet grade AT9530 for fine finishing
• Double-sided chipbreaker for consistent chip control
• 0.2 mm corner radius for improved surface quality

Achieve consistent surface quality with a cermet finishing grade

The combination of a coated cermet substrate and the AT9530 grade focuses on delivering a consistently high surface finish during finish and light machining of steel. Cermet inserts excel where minimal built-up edge and stable flank wear are critical; the result is fewer rework cycles and predictable component dimensional stability. With a defined corner radius 0.2 mm, the geometry reduces vibratory marks on the workpiece, which directly benefits batch-to-batch reproducibility and reduces downstream finishing.

Clear guidance on mechanical compatibility and mounting

Compatibility depends on ISO form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; the insert follows the ISO designation and is manufactured to fit holders designed for the TNMG 160402 family. The triangular shape combined with a 60° included angle means many standard external and internal turning holders can be used, provided the pocket accepts the 4.76 mm plate thickness and the cylindrical hole fixing. This commonality simplifies inventory management and reduces the need for bespoke toolholders in mixed-production environments.

Design details that improve process stability

The insert is manufactured from cemented carbide and features a double-sided chipbreaker for reproducible chip formation in finishing operations. The reversible geometry allows indexation to a fresh edge without changing insert type, supporting uninterrupted production. A 0° clearance angle specification suits holders that provide the necessary relief; this, together with the moderate corner radius and the AT9530 coating, helps maintain a stable cutting edge and even wear distribution, extending the number of usable cycles per insert.

Practical selection advice for shop-floor application

For turning tasks that prioritise dimensional accuracy and surface quality rather than heavy stock removal, this grade and geometry are suitable choices. Select a matching chipbreaker and the appropriate insert thickness and seat geometry to ensure secure clamping and heat dissipation. When replacing inserts, confirm that the holder’s seating face and clamp align with the ISO TNMG 160402 specification to avoid run-out or premature wear; correct mechanical fit is as important as material and coating choices for repeatable performance.

FAQ

What applications suit this insert best?
The TNMG160402 AT9530 Tungaloy insert is intended for external and internal turning operations, specifically for finishing and light machining of steel where surface quality and even wear are priorities.

How is holder compatibility determined for this TNMG insert?
Compatibility requires a matching ISO TNMG pocket with the correct relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size (16 mm) and plate thickness (4.76 mm); ensure the holder accepts the triangular form and cylindrical hole design.

Does the AT9530 grade improve surface finish compared with standard carbide?
Yes — AT9530 is a cermet-based coating designed to reduce built-up edge and promote a finer surface finish and uniform flank wear on steel during finishing cuts.

What role does the double-sided chipbreaker play in process stability?
The double-sided chipbreaker on this insert provides consistent chip formation and easier indexation, supporting stable cutting conditions during finishing and reducing the need for frequent chip-control adjustments.

Is this insert reversible and how does that affect tool life?
The triangular geometry with a double-sided chipbreaker allows the insert to be indexed to fresh cutting edges, which increases the number of usable edges per insert and supports longer productive runs without changing insert type.
