TNMG160408 T9215 Tungaloy — ISO turning insert, CVD‑coated carbide, 60° triangular

The TNMG160408 T9215 Tungaloy is an ISO‑standard triangular carbide insert designed for external and internal turning, offering a balance of wear resistance and fracture toughness for productive, continuous to slightly interrupted cutting.

• CVD‑coated carbide grade T9215
• 60° triangular insert, 16 mm size
• 0.8 mm corner radius for robust finishes
• Double‑sided chipbreaker, with cylindrical hole

Reliable cutting performance for medium‑steel production

The CVD‑coated carbide composition and T9215 grade were developed for medium steel machining where a combination of wear resistance and fracture toughness matters. This specification supports sustained productivity in continuous and lightly interrupted cuts by delaying flank and crater wear while maintaining edge stability. The coating improves thermal resistance and reduces adhesion, which translates into longer effective tool life and fewer insert changes, helping to keep cycle times predictable and production costs controlled.

Geometry that reduces setup time and improves repeatability

Designed to the ISO standard, the triangular 60° form with 16 mm nominal size and 4.76 mm plate thickness enables straightforward compatibility checks with common external holders and boring bars. The insert features a cylindrical hole for secure clamping and a defined clearance angle that ensures consistent seating and repeatable offsets. Because compatibility depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, attachment, size and thickness, choosing ISO‑conform inserts simplifies tool inventory and reduces the risk of incorrect mounting.

Controlled chip formation and surface quality with fewer interruptions

Equipped with a double‑sided chipbreaker, the insert supports stable chip control across a range of feeds and depths of cut, which contributes to improved surface finish and less manual chip handling. The 0.8 mm corner radius gives a compromise between edge strength and achievable surface quality, making it suitable for general turning tasks where improved part tolerances and consistent finishes are required. For internal and external turning operations, the chipbreaker design assists in maintaining process stability and predictable tool wear.

Practical guidance for selecting inserts and matching holders

When selecting an insert for a specific turning task, consider the workpiece material, rigidity of the setup and whether cuts are continuous or interrupted. The TNMG geometry typically pairs with standard ISO external holders or appropriate boring bars plus a seating pad, clamping kit and replacement fastening screws. If uncertainty remains about the best grade or chipbreaker for an application, technical data sheets and machining recommendations are available to align cutting conditions with the T9215 performance profile; this helps avoid under‑ or over‑specifying the tool and supports efficient process planning.
