VCMT 160404 T9215 – ISO rhombic turning insert, CVD-coated carbide by Tungaloy

VCMT160404-PS T9215 is an ISO‑standard indexable insert for external and internal turning, developed for productive machining of medium steels with continuous to lightly interrupted cuts.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9215
• Designed for medium steel machining
• 0.4 mm corner radius for versatility
• 7° clearance, rhombic ISO geometry

Reliable performance for medium‑steel turning

The CVD‑coated T9215 grade combines high wear resistance with controlled toughness, providing reliable tool life under steady production conditions. As a CVD-coated carbide insert, it offers a hardened surface layer that reduces flank and crater wear while preserving a strong substrate to resist chipping. This results in consistent component quality and fewer index changes, supporting uninterrupted machining and stable cycle times in batch production.

Optimised geometry for stable, productive cutting

The ISO rhombic configuration with a 7° clearance and 0.4 mm corner radius delivers a compromise between edge strength and cutting accuracy. The VCMT160404-PS chipbreaker has been selected to manage chip formation in medium steels, aiding coolant access and evacuating chips reliably. Insert thickness 4.76 mm and the standard 16 mm size ensure compatibility with common external holders and boring bars, enabling a quick integration into existing tool systems for enhanced process stability.

System compatibility and practical application guidance

The insert is designed to fit ISO turning systems where form, clearance angle, tolerance class, clamping method and thickness match the holder. The supplied hole format—cylindrical hole with a single‑side countersink (40°–60°)—facilitates secure clamping and repeatable seating. For best results, pair the insert with a rigid holder and select feeds and speeds appropriate for medium‑strength steels; the grade is particularly suitable for continuous to lightly interrupted cuts, delivering an efficient balance of productivity and reliability.

FAQ

Which workpiece materials are best for this insert?
The VCMT160404-PS T9215 insert from Tungaloy is optimised for medium‑strength steel machining; the T9215 grade offers a balance of wear resistance and toughness for efficient turning of steel components.

Can this insert be used for internal turning as well as external?
Yes, the rhombic ISO geometry and standard hole/countersink make the insert suitable for both external and internal turning when used with compatible holders and boring bars.

How does the PS chipbreaker affect machining?
The PS chipbreaker on the VCMT160404-PS supports controlled chip formation and evacuation in medium steels, improving surface consistency and reducing the risk of chip entanglement in continuous to lightly interrupted operations.

What must be checked before mounting the insert?
Verify holder compatibility in terms of form, clearance angle, tolerance class, clamping style, size and thickness to ensure the Tungaloy VCMT insert seats correctly and clamps securely.
