TNMG160404 T9215 Turning insert (TNMG, 160404) by Tungaloy

The TNMG160404 T9215 is an ISO‑standard triangular turning insert engineered for medium‑steel applications, combining a CVD‑coated carbide grade with double‑sided geometry for productive continuous or slightly interrupted cuts.

• CVD‑coated carbide grade T9215 for medium steel
• ISO‑standard TNMG160404 triangular insert, 60°
• Double‑sided geometry with 0.4 mm corner radius
• Cylindrical hole fixing; thickness 4.76 mm

High productivity for medium‑steel machining

The CVD‑coated carbide grade T9215 delivers a balance between wear resistance and fracture toughness that supports higher cutting speeds and longer tool life in medium‑strength steel. By favouring a coating designed to reduce flank and crater wear, the insert enables a measurable increase in throughput while maintaining dimensional consistency. For production environments where cycle time and repeatability matter, this combination reduces downtime for insert changes and contributes directly to process efficiency and lower cost per part.

Improved chip control and surface quality

A double‑sided chipbreaker geometry combined with a 0.4 mm corner radius provides controlled chip formation and evacuation during both light and moderate depth cuts. Controlled chip flow reduces tool interference and enhances surface finish, translating the insert’s geometry into predictable part quality. The term "chipbreaker" denotes a dedicated flank and rake design that folds and breaks chips; this is especially useful when machining long bars or components where uninterrupted chip flow would otherwise hinder productivity.

Clear mounting compatibility and secure fixing

As an ISO‑standard TNMG insert with a cylindrical locating hole, the component fits a wide range of holders that match form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The cylindrical hole ensures secure clamping with standard screws and seats, reducing the risk of micro‑movement under load. When matching an insert to a holder, attention to the specified 60° included angle and the 0° clearance feature is crucial for correct seat geometry and predictable cutting engagement.

Coating and substrate engineered for reliable performance

The insert is manufactured from sintered carbide and finished with a CVD coating tailored for medium‑steel turning. The coating provides thermal stability at elevated cutting temperatures and improves resistance to abrasive wear. For applications with continuous or slightly interrupted cuts, this construction offers repeatable performance and a reliable service life, which is particularly relevant in batch production and long‑run turning operations where consistency is paramount.

FAQ

What materials is this insert designed for?
The TNMG160404 T9215 insert is optimised for medium‑strength steel machining; the CVD coating and carbide substrate balance wear resistance and toughness for reliable performance in steel turning.

Can the insert be used for interrupted cuts?
Yes, the insert’s fracture‑resistant carbide and double‑sided geometry make it suitable for continuous and slightly interrupted turning operations, maintaining stability under moderate shock.

How is the insert fixed to a toolholder?
This ISO‑standard insert uses a cylindrical locating hole and standard clamping screws; holders must match the TNMG form, 60° angle and thickness for secure seating.

What benefit does the 0.4 mm corner radius provide?
A 0.4 mm corner radius offers a compromise between edge strength and surface finish, improving edge stability without significantly increasing cutting forces in typical turning operations.

Is grade T9215 suitable for high cutting speeds?
Grade T9215 is formulated to combine wear resistance with toughness, enabling productive cutting speeds in medium steel; exact parameters depend on machine rigidity and workpiece setup.
