TPMR 160308 T9225 — ISO triangular turning insert by Tungaloy, CVD-coated carbide, 0.8 mm radius

A TPMR 160308 T9225 ISO triangular insert designed for medium to heavy turning of steel where interrupted cuts and changing engagement demand increased toughness and reliable chip control

• ISO triangular insert, 60° geometry
• CVD-coated carbide T9225 grade
• 0.8 mm corner radius for robustness
• Single-sided chipbreaker for steel turning

Consistent performance in demanding steel turning

This insert delivers consistent cutting under variable conditions thanks to its CVD coating and purpose-designed carbide substrate. The T9225 grade combines toughness with wear resistance, which is particularly beneficial when facing intermittent cuts or variable chip loads. The 60° triangular geometry, together with the 0.8 mm radius, increases edge strength and extends tool life in medium to heavy applications. For users less familiar with coatings: a CVD coating is applied at high temperature to form hard, adherent layers that reduce flank wear and improve resistance to built-up edge. The result is a reduction in machining interruptions and a more predictable process capability.

Robustness and seamless integration into tool systems

Compatibility with holders is determined by insert form, 11° clearance angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and 3.18 mm thickness. The ISO specification of this triangular insert assures straightforward interchangeability with standard external holders and boring bars that accept the 160308 family. The insert’s single-sided chipbreaker is optimised for machining steel, promoting controlled chip formation and evacuation; this lowers the risk of entanglement and protects the workpiece surface. Because the cutting geometry and mounting interface follow ISO norms, toolroom integration and retooling cycles are simplified, supporting higher uptime and predictable set-up times.

Practical selection advice and workshop benefits

When selecting an insert for turning operations, prioritise the match between workpiece material and the insert grade. The presented grade is aimed at steel machining where a balance of toughness and wear resistance is required. The triangular form gives three usable edges per index, which improves cost-efficiency in many turning tasks. Note that holder compatibility must always be checked against form, free angle and thickness; the system typically comprises the ISO insert, a matching external holder or boring bar, a support shim/clamping kit and replacement screws. This modular approach facilitates rapid replacement and maintains consistent clamping security, contributing to reliable machining and repeatable part quality.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The TPMR 160308 T9225 insert is intended primarily for steel turning applications; the T9225 grade and chipbreaker are optimised for medium to heavy steel machining.

How does the chipbreaker affect machining?
The single-sided chipbreaker on this insert promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation during turning, improving surface finish and reducing the risk of chip entanglement when machining steel.

Is this insert compatible with standard ISO holders?
Yes, the insert follows ISO 160308 dimensions and is compatible with holders and boring bars designed for that insert family, provided form, clearance angle, tolerance and thickness match.

How many cutting edges does the triangular insert provide?
The triangular geometry yields three indexable cutting edges per insert, increasing economical use during turning operations.
