VCMT160404-24 T9225 — ISO turning insert, CVD-coated carbide, 0.4 mm corner radius (Tungaloy)

The VCMT160404-24 T9225 is an ISO‑normed indexable turning insert engineered for turning operations, offering a balanced combination of toughness and wear resistance for variable cutting conditions.

• CVD-coated carbide for high toughness
• 0.4 mm corner radius for precise profiling
• ISO 160404 rhombic insert, 35° approach angle
• Cylindrical hole with one-sided countersink (40°–60°)

Consistent cutting performance under changing conditions

This CVD‑coated grade delivers reliable toughness where interrupted cuts or varying engagement depths occur. The T9225 composition is formulated as a robust universal grade for medium‑to‑heavy steel turning, allowing stable chip formation and reduced risk of premature edge chipping. In practical terms, the combination of coating and substrate increases uptime by extending the interval between indexings, while preserving workpiece quality under fluctuating loads.

Precision fit and repeatability for production setups

ISO compliance and a clearly defined geometry make integration into existing tool systems straightforward: the ISO‑160404 outline and rhombic form ensure indexation accuracy, while the 7° relief and 35° approach angle support controlled cutting engagement. The small 0.4 mm corner radius provides finer profile control on external and internal features, improving dimensional consistency and reducing secondary finishing. Compatibility is governed by form, relief angle, tolerance class, clamp method, size and thickness, so repeatable clamping and predictable results are achieved across batches.

Productivity advantages and easier tool management

Equipped with chipbreaker 24, the insert directs swarf predictably, helping to avoid entanglements and supporting stable cutting forces. The grade’s emphasis on stable chip formation and broad material coverage simplifies tool selection in mixed‑production environments, reducing inventory complexity. Longer edge life combined with predictable wear behaviour reduces downtime for insert changes and supports cost‑effective operation across medium‑to‑heavy turning tasks.

Application guidance and process support

Designed primarily for turning operations, the insert suits both external and internal applications when paired with the correct holder or boring bar. Selection of the chipbreaker and grade should match the workpiece material, machining strategy and machine stability. For uncertain cases, Metav Werkzeuge can advise on holder compatibility, clamping torque and recommended feeds to align the insert’s robust universal grade with the intended process.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for interrupted cuts?
Yes. The Tungaloy VCMT160404-24 T9225 insert uses a robust CVD‑coated carbide formulation that improves toughness, making it appropriate for intermittent engagement and varying cutting conditions.

Which materials is the grade intended for?
The T9225 grade is optimised for medium‑to‑heavy steel turning; the coating and substrate combination support stable chip formation and wear resistance in such materials.

How is compatibility with holders determined?
Compatibility depends on form, relief angle, tolerance class, clamp method, insert size and thickness; the ISO‑160404 designation and rhombic geometry of the insert guide holder selection for secure indexing.

What does chipbreaker 24 provide in practice?
Chipbreaker 24 is designed to control swarf formation during turning, promoting predictable chips and reduced risk of entanglement, which supports uninterrupted machining and consistent surface finish.

How is the insert clamped and secured?
The insert features a cylindrical hole with a one‑sided countersink (40°–60°) for screw fastening; proper clamping pads and torque settings ensure repeatable seating and secure fixation.
