VBMT 160402 AH8005 — ISO turning insert for Turning (Tungaloy)

The VBMT160402-PS AH8005 is an ISO‑standard rhombic turning insert engineered for external and internal turning of hard and heat‑resistant alloys with a focus on stable, repeatable performance.

• ISO rhombic turning insert, size 16
• PVD-coated carbide grade AH8005
• PS chipbreaker for stable cutting
• 0.2 mm corner radius, 5° clearance
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

Improve process reliability with wear‑resistant PVD coating

The use of a PVD‑coated carbide grade like AH8005 delivers significantly improved wear resistance in elevated temperatures, which translates into fewer tool changes and steadier cycle times. In practical terms, the coating reduces flank and crater wear during sustained contact with heat‑resistant alloys; this means a more consistent surface finish and reduced scrap rates. The combination of coating and the PS chipbreaker supports predictable chip formation during medium‑to‑stable cutting conditions, helping to protect spindle bearings and reduce machine interruptions.

Extend edge life and reduce unplanned downtime

A small 0.2 mm corner radius combined with the robust AH8005 substrate provides a reliable cutting edge that resists chipping under stable clamping conditions. The insert geometry and material pairing are selected to balance edge strength and accessibility, preserving tool life without sacrificing dimensional control. This results in longer uninterrupted production runs and lower overall tooling consumption, supporting measurable cost‑efficiency in batch and serial turning.

Fast, secure clamping and straightforward compatibility

Manufactured to ISO dimensions, the insert is compatible with holders that match the specified form, clearance, tolerance class, fastening and thickness. The cylindrical hole with a single‑side countersink (40°–60°) ensures secure seating and repeatable positioning when mounted on standard clamping systems. This simplifies tool changeover and reduces set‑up time, especially when retrofitting or standardising toolholders across a turning cell.

Geometry tailored to versatile turning tasks

The rhombic plate shape and a plate thickness of 4.76 mm give a good balance between rigidity and accessibility in both external and internal turning. The 35° approach angle favours chip flow and surface integrity on long‑chipped materials, while the 5° clearance angle supports stable cutting with appropriate holder geometry. Select the PS chipbreaker and AH8005 grade when machining heat‑resistant alloys or hard workpiece materials to benefit from consistent chip control and edge stability.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The VBMT160402-PS AH8005 insert is designed for machining heat‑resistant alloys and harder workpiece materials; the AH8005 grade and PVD coating offer elevated wear resistance for these applications.

Which chipbreaker should be selected for finishing operations?
For finishing with controlled chip flow, the PS chipbreaker on the VBMT160402-PS insert provides stable chips and a consistent surface finish, especially under steady cutting conditions.

How does the 0.2 mm corner radius affect part tolerances?
A 0.2 mm corner radius increases edge strength while maintaining good accessibility for smaller radii features; this helps preserve dimensional stability and reduces the risk of corner chipping.

Is the insert compatible with standard ISO clamping systems?
Yes, the insert is ISO‑dimensioned; compatibility depends on matching holder form, clearance, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness to the ISO spec.

What does the hole style mean for mounting reliability?
The cylindrical hole with a one‑side countersink (40°–60°) ensures secure seating and repeatable positioning in compatible clamping systems, aiding fast and reliable tool changes.
