TNMG160412 T9215 — Turning indexable insert, CVD-coated carbide, 60°, Tungaloy

TNMG160412 T9215 is an ISO-standard triangular turning insert for medium steel machining, designed to combine high wear resistance with reliable chip control in continuous and light intermittent cuts

• CVD-coated grade T9215 for medium steel
• Triangle insert with 60° cutting angle
• Corner radius 1.2 mm for robust form
• Double-sided chipbreaker for consistent chips

High-performance grade that raises productivity

The CVD-coated carbide grade T9215 is engineered for the demands of medium steel turning, offering a controlled balance between abrasion resistance and edge toughness. This balance reduces flank wear while limiting chipping under stable cutting conditions, so the tool life becomes more predictable. For production environments where cycle time and tool-change frequency affect throughput, the improved wear resistance translates into measurable gains in process efficiency and lower downtime for edge changes.

Geometry and tolerance for secure clamping and accuracy

The triangular geometry with a 60° included angle and a corner radius 1.2 mm delivers a universal profile suited to a range of turning tasks, from light profiling to robust roughing. With a relief angle of 0° and a plate thickness of 4.76 mm, the design matches common ISO holders; the insert features a cylindrical hole for standard clamping systems. The geometry helps maintain cutting-edge stability under moderate forces and supports repeatable positioning — an asset when consistent surface quality and dimensional control are required in series production.

Controlled chip formation and recommended cutting conditions

Equipped with a double-sided chipbreaker, the insert facilitates reliable chip formation across a variety of feeds and depths of cut. The chipbreaker geometry is optimised for continuous and light interrupted cuts, reducing the risk of long, stringy chips and improving evacuation in confined tool zones. For best results, select the chipbreaker and a holder with adequate rigidity, and favour coolant strategies that assist chip removal; these measures enhance surface finish and extend the interval between indexings.

Practical advantages for workshop integration

As an ISO-standard component, the insert simplifies inventory management and compatibility checks: form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fixing type, size and thickness determine holder fit. The combination of CVD-coated carbide, robust geometry and standardised mounting supports fast replacement and predictable tool life, helping to reduce machining variance.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The TNMG160412 T9215 insert is specified primarily for medium steel machining and performs best where a balance of wear resistance and toughness is required.

Which holder types are compatible with this insert?
Compatibility is determined by form, relief angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness; the TNMG geometry fits standard ISO turning holders designed for 16 mm triangular inserts.

What cutting conditions does the chipbreaker support?
The double-sided chipbreaker on this insert is optimised for continuous and light interrupted cuts, promoting consistent chip control and improved evacuation.

How does the T9215 grade affect tool life?
T9215’s CVD-coated carbide composition increases wear resistance while maintaining edge integrity, which yields more predictable and often longer tool life under appropriate machining parameters.

How is the insert identified for reordering?
Reorder using the article number 6772315 or SKU 6772315-Tungaloy; the designation TNMG160412 and grade T9215 ensure precise replacement.
