TNMG160408 T9215 triangular turning insert for turning — Tungaloy

TNMG160408 T9215 is a triangular, ISO-compliant indexable insert designed for external and internal turning in medium steels, offering a balance of wear resistance and fracture toughness.

• CVD-coated carbide for medium steel
• Double-sided chipbreaker for reliable chip control
• 60° triangular form for strong cutting edges
• 0.8 mm corner radius for improved surface finish

Consistent productivity for medium-steel turning

The CVD-coated carbide grade T9215 delivers a combination of wear resistance and fracture toughness, making it suitable for continuous to lightly interrupted cuts in medium-strength steel. The coating provides a hard sliding surface that reduces flank wear, while the substrate offers the toughness required under varying cutting forces. This results in higher productivity and more predictable tool-change intervals compared with uncoated grades.

Secure clamping and wide holder compatibility

Designed to the ISO TNMG series, the insert’s compatibility with a holder is governed by its form, clearance angle, tolerance class, attachment method, size and thickness. The cylindrical hole enables secure mechanical clamping and simple replacement; the 0° relief angle and 60° included angle ensure a robust seating for many standard triangular holders. Using a correctly matched holder preserves the cutting geometry and reduces vibration, supporting consistent component quality.

Predictable tool life and improved surface quality

A 0.8 mm corner radius provides a balance between strength and surface finish, helping to achieve smoother part faces without compromising edge stability. The 4.76 mm thickness increases rigidity at the cutting edge, reducing deflection on longer overhangs. The double-sided chipbreaker aids in chip control and evacuation, which supports machining continuity and safer handling. Overall, this indexable insert offers repeatable performance and a clear path to optimised cycle times in production turning.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert best suited for?
The TNMG160408 T9215 Tungaloy insert is specified for medium-steel machining, combining T9215 coating and a carbide substrate to balance wear resistance and toughness for continuous to light interrupted cuts.

How is holder compatibility determined?
Compatibility depends on the insert form, clearance angle, tolerance class, attachment, size and thickness; the TNMG160408 must be paired with a matching 60° triangular holder and suitable clamping for inserts with a cylindrical hole.

Can this insert be used for finishing passes?
Yes — the 0.8 mm corner radius and rigid 4.76 mm thickness help achieve improved surface finishes while maintaining edge strength for finishing and semi-finishing operations.

Is the insert indexable on both sides?
The TNMG160408 T9215 is double-sided with a double-sided chipbreaker, allowing indexing to a fresh cutting edge to extend tool life and reduce tooling costs.

What is the coating and how does it help?
The insert is a CVD-coated carbide in grade T9215; the coating reduces abrasive wear and the carbide substrate provides the toughness needed to withstand variable cutting forces in steel turning.
