TPMT16T304-PS AT9530 — ISO triangular turning insert, coated cermet, for finishing by Tungaloy

A TPMT16T304-PS AT9530 insert engineered for precision turning and light finishing of steel components, offering a fine nose radius and a chipbreaker tuned to surface-quality applications

• Coated cermet grade AT9530 for fine surface finish
• Suited for finishing and light machining of steel
• 0.4 mm nose radius for precise profile control
• ISO triangular insert, 60° included angle

Consistent surface quality through a specialised cermet grade

The AT9530 grade is a coated cermet designed specifically for finishing and light machining of steel, prioritising a superior surface finish and uniform wear across the cutting edge. Cermet combines ceramic hardness with metallic toughness; the applied coating further stabilises cutting performance and reduces the tendency for built‑up edge during low‑depth finishing passes. This results in a predictable edge life and consistent component appearance, making the insert particularly suitable where dimensional accuracy and surface integrity matter.

Secure seating and straightforward integration with ISO holders

Compatibility with toolholders is governed by the ISO format, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The triangular geometry with a 60° included angle, a 3.97 mm plate thickness and an 11° clearance ensures reliable seating in standard external holders or boring bars. The insert is supplied with a cylindrical hole plus a one‑side countersink (40°–60°) to match common clamping systems. These controlled interfaces reduce vibration and enable repeatable clamping behaviour, which in turn helps to preserve surface quality and dimensional consistency during production runs.

Practical selection and machining advantages on the shop floor

The PS chipbreaker is tailored for finishing; paired with the 0.4 mm nose radius it delivers precise profile control and minimal scallop for fine turning tasks. For best results, match the chipbreaker and grade to the part material and machine stability: this insert is optimised for steel applications in light‑cut scenarios. The ISO standard designation simplifies inventory and replacement procedures. The combination of coated cermet chemistry and the controlled geometry provides quiet cutting, stable wear progression and predictable component outcomes—advantages that translate directly into higher first‑pass yields and lower rework rates.

FAQ

What machining tasks is this insert best suited for?
The TPMT16T304-PS AT9530 is intended for finishing and light machining of steel where high surface quality and even wear are priorities.

How does the PS chipbreaker affect machining?
The PS chipbreaker is tuned for finishing cuts; it promotes small, controlled chip formation and helps to maintain a stable cutting edge for consistent surface finish.

Which holders are compatible with this ISO insert?
Compatibility follows ISO standards: the triangular form, 11° clearance, plate thickness and the hole/countersink geometry ensure fitment in matching external holders or boring bars designed for TPMT‑style inserts.

What are the key geometry values to check when replacing an insert?
Important parameters include the insert size (16 mm), thickness (3.97 mm), nose radius (0.4 mm), clearance angle (11°) and the hole/countersink configuration, all of which determine correct seating and clamping behaviour.

What does the AT9530 designation mean for performance?
AT9530 denotes a coated cermet composition optimised for fine finishing on steel, offering uniform wear characteristics and a focus on achieving superior surface quality.
