TNMG160404 T9225 indexable insert for turning — Tungaloy

The TNMG160404 T9225 is an ISO triangular indexable insert designed for external and internal turning applications, offering a 60° geometry and a 0.4 mm corner radius for versatile steel machining.

• ISO triangular insert TNMG 160404
• CVD-coated cemented carbide grade T9225
• Double-sided chipbreaker for stable cutting
• 60° geometry with cylindrical centre hole

Stable chip control improves productivity and reduces rework

The CVD-coated surface and cemented carbide substrate combine to provide a balanced wear resistance and toughness, which is particularly useful in mixed or interrupted cuts. The integrated chipbreaker is engineered to control swarf formation, promoting steady evacuation and reducing the risk of recutting. For production contexts where cycle time and surface quality matter, this results in fewer tool changes and more predictable component quality.

Compatibility with holders and system components for straightforward integration

Compatibility is governed by several attributes: insert shape, clearance angle, tolerance class, mounting method, size and thickness. The triangular form with a cylindrical centre hole matches common ISO holders and clamping systems; correct matching of the holder and any shims or clamp set ensures secure seating and repeatable positioning. The system approach—insert, holder, underlay and screws—minimises setup time and helps maintain process stability across batches.

Material and grade selection tailored for steel turning

The T9225 grade is a robust universal variant tailored for medium-to-heavy steel turning where variable engagement and occasional interrupted cuts demand enhanced toughness. The CVD coating adds a hard, wear-resistant layer that improves flank and crater wear behaviour while the carbide core preserves edge strength. For shops aiming to balance tool life and cutting performance across a range of steels, this grade offers consistent results without frequent requalification.

Geometry and micro‑features that support consistent surface finish

A 60° triangle geometry offers versatility for both external profiling and internal turning when combined with the appropriate holder. The 0.4 mm corner radius delivers a compromise between edge strength and fine surface finish, suitable for typical turning tolerances. Where surface finish or dimensional accuracy is critical, pairing this insert with optimised feed and speed settings will exploit its geometry and coating to reduce vibration and improve repeatability.
