TCMT 16T302 T9225 turning insert (TCMT16T302-PS) – Tungaloy

TCMT16T302-PS T9225 Tungaloy insert is a triangular ISO turning insert intended for medium to heavy steel turning where toughness and consistent chip control are required.

• ISO‑standard triangular insert TCMT 16T302
• CVD‑coated carbide grade T9225 for robust cutting
• PS chipbreaker optimised for interrupted cuts
• 7° relief and 60° included angle for stable engagement

Reliable cutting under varying engagement

The CVD‑coated T9225 grade delivers a balance of wear resistance and toughness that suits medium to heavy steel machining. The coating reduces flank and crater wear while the substrate maintains fracture resistance when cuts are slightly interrupted or engagement varies. This combination makes the insert particularly suitable where workpiece conditions change or roughing passes alternate with semi‑finishing; the result is predictable tool life and fewer unplanned indexings.

Fast setup and secure clamping for consistent results

As an ISO format triangular insert, compatibility is determined by form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening and plate thickness. The TCMT form with size 16 and thickness 3.97 mm installs in standard holders without modification. The cylindrical hole with one‑sided countersink (40°–60°) ensures reliable clamping and repeatable seating, reducing vibration and supporting consistent surface finish when paired with a correctly matched holder.

Controlled chips and process stability for interrupted cuts

The PS chipbreaker is engineered to control chip formation during external and internal turning, particularly where cut interruptions occur. By guiding and segmenting chips, the breaker reduces risk of entanglement and improves evacuation in deeper cuts. Use the plate’s corner radius 0.2 mm for lighter finishing passes or to maintain dimensional accuracy when turning small radii; for heavier passes, the combination of chipbreaker and robust grade helps maintain cutting edge integrity.

Productivity through durability and simple selection

Choosing this triangular, indexable insert simplifies tool inventory by providing a universal option for a range of steel applications. The CVD coating enhances wear resistance, while the tougher substrate resists chipping under variable engagement, which together support longer intervals between indexing and predictable replacement cycles. Select the PS chipbreaker and the T9225 grade when a compromise between machining speed and edge security is needed.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert suited for?
The TCMT16T302‑PS T9225 insert is specified for medium to heavy steel machining and performs well where toughness is needed under varying engagement.

Is the chip control suitable for interrupted cuts?
Yes, the PS chipbreaker on the TCMT16T302‑PS is designed to manage chips effectively during interrupted and semi‑stable cuts.

What are the key dimensions to check when selecting a holder?
Confirm size 16, thickness 3.97 mm, relief angle 7° and the cylindrical hole with countersink match the intended ISO holder for proper seating of the TCMT plate.

Can this insert be used for internal turning?
The insert form and chipbreaker allow internal turning where holder geometry and process stability are suitable; ensure the holder provides correct clearance and clamping for the TCMT format.

How does the T9225 grade affect tool life?
The T9225 CVD‑coated grade balances wear resistance and toughness, improving edge security and delivering more predictable tool life under mid‑to‑heavy cutting conditions.
