TPMR 160304 T9225 Wendeplatten - Tungaloy

Combination of CVD-coated carbide T9225, ISO-compliant triangular geometry and a 0.4 mm corner radius delivers consistent performance for medium-to-heavy steel turning; order via Metav Werkzeuge or consult their specialists for application-specific advice.

TPMR160304 T9225 Tungaloy turning insert – triangular ISO insert, 60°

The TPMR160304 T9225 is an ISO-standard triangular insert for robust external and internal turning, designed for medium-to-heavy steel operations with a 0.4 mm corner radius and 11° clearance.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9225
• ISO triangular 60° geometry
• 0.4 mm corner radius for versatility
• One-sided chipbreaker for stable chips

Reliable cutting performance under variable engagement

The CVD-coated carbide composition of this grade combines hardness with toughness to withstand changing cutting conditions. As a robust universal grade, T9225 is formulated for medium-to-heavy steel turning, delivering durable edge life when intermittent cuts or variable engagement occur. The chemical vapour deposition layer improves wear resistance and reduces flank wear, which translates into longer intervals between indexings and fewer unplanned tool changes. This technical balance supports predictable cycle times and contributes to a stable machining process in small-batch and serial production alike.

Seamless ISO compatibility for quick tool integration

Manufactured to ISO form standards, the insert’s triangular 60° geometry, 11° clearance and precise tolerances ensure compatibility with matching ISO holders. The standardized plate format simplifies fixture selection: holders and boring bars are matched by form, free angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness, so spindle set-up is straightforward and reproducible. The insert’s 3.18 mm thickness and no-hole configuration suit many common clamping systems, while the standard dimensions reduce inventory complexity when multiple tool stations require the same insert family.

Improved chip control and process security for less downtime

The one-sided chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation, helping to maintain a consistent surface finish and reduce rework. A 0.4 mm corner radius provides versatility across finishing and light roughing passes, offering a balance between edge strength and surface quality. Combined with the T9225 grade’s toughness, this geometry reduces the risk of chipping during interrupted cuts and supports stable, repeatable machining results. The insert forms part of a complete system—ISO insert, compatible external holder or boring bar, backing/clamping kit and replacement screws—ensuring quick maintenance and minimal production interruption.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert designed for?
The TPMR160304 T9225 insert is designed primarily for medium-to-heavy steel turning, the T9225 grade offering robustness where variable engagement or interrupted cuts require increased toughness.

Can the insert be used for internal turning?
Yes. The insert supports both external and internal turning when mounted in a compatible ISO boring bar or holder, following the required form and clamping specifications.

What is the corner radius and why does it matter?
The insert has a 0.4 mm corner radius; this radius balances edge strength with surface finish and is suitable for light roughing through finishing passes in steel turning.

Does the insert have a central mounting hole?
No. The TPMR160304 comes without a hole and is intended for clamping systems that accept no-hole triangular inserts.

How does the chipbreaker affect performance?
The one-sided chipbreaker promotes stable chip formation and evacuation, improving surface finish and reducing the likelihood of recutting or interrupted-chip issues during turning.
