SNMG150616 T9225 indexable turning insert for turning (Tungaloy)

SNMG150616 T9225 is an ISO-format indexable insert engineered for external and internal turning applications, offering a balance of toughness and wear resistance for variable cutting conditions.

• CVD-coated carbide for robust steel machining
• Double-sided chipbreaker for interrupted cuts
• ISO SNMG format, 1.6 mm nose radius
• Cylindrical hole for secure clamping

Consistent performance under variable cutting conditions

The CVD-coated carbide composition of grade T9225 is designed as a robust universal grade for mid-to-heavy steel machining where variable engagement or lightly interrupted cuts demand extra toughness. The CVD coating increases surface hardness and enhances wear resistance while the substrate maintains fracture toughness, which together promote stable chip formation and extended tool life. For production environments seeking reproducible results, this combination supports higher average cutting rates and reduces the frequency of insert changes, improving overall process efficiency.

ISO compatibility and secure clamping reduce setup time

As an ISO SNMG insert, the geometry follows standardised dimensions so compatibility with matched holders is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness. The insert’s square form, 6.35 mm thickness and 15 mm size ensure a stable support area, while the cylindrical hole enables secure clamping and repeatable index changes. The listed 0° clearance angle and the 90° approach angle offer predictable cutting behaviour in general turning tasks. These features minimise setup complexity and shorten downtime during tool changes, supporting continuous production workflows.

Chip control and grade selection for longer tool life

The double-sided chipbreaker provides flexibility: selecting the correct chip geometry and the T9225 grade suits a wide range of steels and interrupted cuts, helping to avoid built-up edge and erratic chip shapes. Proper pairing of chipbreaker and insert grade reduces cutting forces and heat concentration, which in turn extends the life of both insert and holder. For workshops and CNC shops aiming to raise part quality and reduce rework, the result is improved surface finish and more predictable tool consumption. If unsure which chipbreaker profile best matches an application, Metav Werkzeuge’s technical advisors can assist with selection and process parameters.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The SNMG150616 T9225 insert is intended primarily for steel machining; the T9225 CVD-coated carbide grade is specified for robust, mid-to-heavy steel turning with variable engagement.

Is the insert compatible with standard SNMG holders?
Yes, the SNMG150616 follows ISO dimensions; compatibility depends on holder form, clearance angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness, and the insert’s cylindrical hole enables secure clamping.

How does the T9225 grade perform with interrupted cuts?
The T9225 grade provides additional toughness suited to interrupted cuts and varying engagement, helping to prevent chipping and maintain stable chip formation during operation.

Can the chipbreaker be used on both sides of the insert?
The double-sided chipbreaker on this indexable insert allows use of both cutting edges, offering economical indexing and flexibility for different cutting conditions.
