Durable grade for demanding steel operations

The CVD-coated carbide of the T9225 grade is formulated for demanding turning tasks where varying engagement and light interruptions occur. This composition balances toughness and wear resistance to reduce edge chipping during interrupted cuts and to extend tool life under fluctuating loads. The result is improved process stability and fewer insert changes, contributing to predictable cycle times and lower tooling-related downtime.

Geometry that controls chips and surface finish

The VNMG rhombic form with a 1.2 mm corner radius and double-sided chipbreaker provides controlled chip formation and repeatable surface integrity. The centred, cylindrical hole enables secure fastening in the clamping system, while the 35° lead angle and 0° clearance support stable contact conditions at the tool–workpiece interface. For operators, this means easier parameter setup and a higher probability of consistent part-to-part finish when the correct cutting data are applied.

ISO compatibility for straightforward mounting and replacement

As an ISO-standard indexable insert, compatibility with holders depends on form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. The recommended system comprises the indexable plate, a suitable external holder or boring bar, a matching shim/clamping set and replacement screws. This modular approach simplifies inventory management: the insert can be replaced quickly without changing the entire tooling assembly, saving setup time and supporting lean production workflows.

Production benefits: efficiency, reliability and predictability

Selecting this indexable insert supports a rational approach to machining: the robust grade and engineered geometry combine to lower scrap rates and reduce unscheduled interventions. Stable chip control improves tool life and surface quality, while the insert’s universal characteristics make it suitable for shops that run mixed batches or shift between different steel grades. The result is measurable gains in throughput and part consistency, backed by Tungaloy’s focus on dependable cutting performance.
