CNMM 160612 T9215 ISO turning insert (TRS) – Tungaloy

CNMM160612-TRS T9215 Tungaloy insert designed for external and internal turning applications, providing controlled chip formation and long tool life in medium steel machining

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9215 for medium steel
• TRS chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• ISO rhombic insert CNMM 160612 with 80° angle
• Cylindrical hole; plate thickness 6.35 mm

Engineered for productive medium-steel turning

The CVD-coated T9215 grade is specified for medium steel and balances wear resistance with fracture toughness, enabling sustained productivity in continuous to lightly interrupted cuts. The coated carbide substrate resists abrasive wear while the coating reduces adhesion and built-up edge, which helps to maintain cutting-edge geometry and extends service intervals. This results in fewer tool changes and higher process throughput, a clear advantage in batch and series production.

Geometry that simplifies toolholder selection and process setup

The rhombic ISO geometry with an effective entry angle of 80°, a corner radius of 1.2 mm and a cylindrical hole make the insert compatible with a wide range of external holders and boring bars when matched by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness. The standardised dimensions ease replacement and spare-part management. Selecting the correct holder and clamp set ensures stable seating, repeatable positioning and consistent machining results.

Improved chip control and surface results with TRS chipbreaker

The integrated TRS chipbreaker is tuned for chip segmentation and evacuation during turning of steel, reducing the risk of entangling long chips and improving operator safety. Effective chip control contributes directly to superior surface finish and reduced secondary operations. For less experienced users, a chipbreaker shapes the chips predictably so that parameters such as feed and cutting speed can be optimised with lower trial-and-error effort.

System perspective and recommended application strategy

This insert forms part of an ISO insert system that comprises the ISO turning plate, a matching outer holder or boring bar, a shim/clamp set and replacement screws. The grade is a first choice for medium-steel operations where a combination of process reliability and productivity is required; it performs best under continuous to slightly interrupted cuts. When planning an operation, consider holder rigidity and clamping method to exploit the insert’s durability and chip-control features fully.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert best suited for?
The CNMM160612-TRS T9215 Tungaloy insert is optimised for medium steel machining, offering a balance of wear resistance and fracture toughness for continuous to lightly interrupted turning.

What does the T9215 grade indicate?
T9215 denotes a CVD-coated carbide grade engineered for high wear resistance and good toughness, making it suitable for productive steel turning applications.

How does the TRS chipbreaker affect machining?
The TRS chipbreaker promotes predictable chip segmentation and evacuation, improving surface finish and reducing the likelihood of chip-related interruptions when turning steel.

What are the critical geometry values to consider for holder compatibility?
Key values include the 80° entry angle, 1.2 mm corner radius, 16 mm insert size and 6.35 mm plate thickness; holders must match form, clearance angle and fastening features for secure installation.

Is this insert suitable for heavily interrupted cuts?
This grade is designed for continuous to slightly interrupted cuts; for heavy interruption or roughing, a different grade or reinforced geometry is recommended.
