• 0.8 mm corner radius for robust edge strength
• ASW chipbreaker optimised for mixed cutting
• ISO WNMG 080408 form with cylindrical hole

Reliable cutting performance for demanding steel work

The CVD-coated T9225 grade delivers a balanced combination of hardness and toughness, designed for medium-to-heavy steel machining where variable cutting conditions occur. The CVD coating improves wear resistance at elevated temperatures, while the substrate material maintains fracture resistance during light interruptions. Together with the 0.8 mm corner radius, the geometry reduces the risk of edge chipping and extends insert life, contributing to higher process stability and fewer tool changes. This leads to predictable cycle times and effective utilisation of machine capacity.

Clear guidance on compatibility and secure clamping

Manufactured to ISO dimensions, the ISO WNMG 080408 form guarantees repeatable fitment in holders specified for WNMG inserts. Compatibility is defined by the insert form, clearance (0° rake), tolerance class, fastening method and thickness; the cylindrical hole ensures reliable clamping and accurate seating in compatible external holders and boring bars. The trigon shape and 4.76 mm plate thickness provide the necessary bulk for demanding turning passes, while the 80° wedge angle offers a sound balance between strength and accessibility in shoulder or profile cuts. Selecting the correct holder geometry and clamping arrangement preserves the insert’s mechanical life and maintains cutting accuracy.

Optimised chip control and cost-effective machining

The ASW chipbreaker is tailored for mixed cutting conditions, promoting predictable chip shapes across a range of feed rates and depths of cut. Effective chip control reduces rework, minimises operator intervention and improves surface finish consistency. The robust grade and chipformer combination lower the frequency of index changes and unplanned stoppages, enhancing throughput and lowering total machining cost per component. For operations seeking process reliability, this insert supports sustained cutting parameters and helps achieve reproducible results across batches.

Practical selection and application notes

When machining steels with varying alloy content or interrupted engagement, favour the T9225 grade and the ASW chipbreaker for a compromise between wear resistance and toughness. The 0° rake simplifies seat design but requires attention to cutting data; moderate cutting speeds and stable feeds maximise tool life. Wherever improved surface integrity is required, the insert’s geometry and coating contribute to consistent finishes and extended edge retention. For material-specific setup or optimisation, technical consultation is available to match cutting parameters and holder selection to the workpiece and machine dynamics.

FAQ

What cutting applications suit this insert best?
This insert, the WNMG080408-ASW T9225 from Tungaloy, is intended for external and internal turning operations on steel components where medium-to-heavy cuts and occasional interruptions occur.

How does the ASW chipbreaker affect performance?
The ASW chipbreaker on the Tungaloy WNMG080408-ASW promotes controlled chip formation across varying feeds, improving surface finish consistency and reducing manual chip management.

Which holder features are required for correct mounting?
Correct mounting requires a holder compatible with the ISO WNMG form, matching clearance angle, tolerance class and thickness; the cylindrical hole ensures positive clamping when the holder is specified for holed WNMG inserts.

Can this insert be used for stainless or alloyed steels?
The T9225 grade is a robust universal grade optimised for steels; for specific stainless or highly alloyed steels, consult cutting data sheets to adapt speeds and feeds for optimal performance with the WNMG080408-ASW insert.

What are the key geometry parameters to consider during setup?
Key parameters include the 0° rake angle, 0.8 mm corner radius, 80° wedge angle and 4.76 mm plate thickness; these determine cutting stability, edge strength and the achievable surface finish with the Tungaloy insert.
