TPMR 160304 T9215 — ISO triangular turning insert, CVD-coated carbide, for turning

TPMR160304-23 T9215 is an ISO‑standard triangular turning insert designed for medium‑strength steel machining, offering high wear resistance and fracture safety for continuous to slightly interrupted cuts.

• CVD-coated cemented carbide grade T9215
• ISO triangular insert for turning
• 0.4 mm corner radius for fine profiles
• Suited for continuous to slight interrupted cuts

Consistent wear resistance for sustained production

The CVD-coated cemented carbide composition provides a balance of wear resistance and fracture toughness, enabling longer tool life under typical shopfloor conditions. This makes the insert particularly effective for sustained runs where predictable performance reduces unplanned tool changes. The protective coating also improves edge stability at elevated contact temperatures, supporting higher productivity without compromising component quality.

Controlled chip formation and improved surface finish

Equipped with chipbreaker designation 23, the insert promotes reliable chip control, reducing the risk of tangling and improving process safety. A well‑matched chipformer ensures shorter, controllable chips that ease swarf evacuation and help maintain consistent surface integrity. For engineers unfamiliar with chipbreakers: the geometry redirects and segments swarf, which in turn lowers cutting forces and helps achieve repeatable finishes on medium steels.

Clear ISO compatibility reduces setup time

As an ISO insert, the form, clearance angle and tolerance class facilitate straightforward matching to compatible external holders or toolposts. The specified 11° clearance angle and plate thickness of 3.18 mm are standardised values that aid quick tool changes and predictable clamping behaviour. This interchangeability translates into reduced setup time and less inventory complexity for workshops running multiple machines.

Practical selection guidance for turning applications

The fine 0.4 mm radius favours profiling and finishing passes where edge definition matters, while the triangular form allows three usable cutting corners per insert for economical use. Select this grade when machining medium‑strength steel in continuous to slightly interrupted cuts; for heavier interruption or very hard materials, consider grades and chipbreakers optimised for those conditions. Workshops and CNC shops benefit from the combination of repeatable performance and economical indexability offered by this insert.

FAQ

Is this insert compatible with standard ISO triangular holders?
Yes. The TPMR160304-23 T9215 is an ISO‑standard triangular insert and is compatible with holders that accept ISO triangular inserts with matching form, thickness and tolerance class.

Which materials is this grade intended for?
The T9215 grade is formulated for medium‑strength steels; TPMR160304-23 T9215 delivers a combination of wear resistance and fracture safety suited to continuous to slightly interrupted turning operations.

What does the chipbreaker 23 mean for machining?
Chipbreaker 23 on this insert provides controlled chips for safe swarf handling and improved surface finish; it is effective for typical steel turning tasks where consistent chip segmentation is required.

How many usable cutting edges does a triangular insert offer?
A triangular insert like TPMR160304-23 T9215 offers three indexed corners, allowing economical reuse of the cutting edges before replacement.

Is the 0.4 mm corner radius suitable for finishing work?
Yes; the 0.4 mm corner radius supports finer profiles and improved surface quality in finishing or semi‑finishing passes when paired with the correct cutting parameters.
