TCMT 16T308 T9225 turning insert for turning (Tungaloy) — CVD‑coated carbide, 60° triangle

The TCMT16T308 T9225 is an ISO‑standard triangular turning insert designed for medium to heavy steel machining, combining a CVD‑coated carbide substrate with a 0.8 mm corner radius and a 7° relief angle for stable cutting performance.

• ISO‑standard triangular insert, 60° geometry
• CVD‑coated T9225 universal carbide grade
• 0.8 mm corner radius for versatile finishing
• Cylindrical hole with single-side countersink

Reliable cutting performance under variable engagement

The combination of a CVD‑coated surface and the T9225 grade provides a balanced mix of hardness and toughness, which improves wear resistance and reduces the risk of chipping under interrupted cuts. The chemical vapour deposition layer enhances thermal stability at elevated cutting temperatures, enabling consistent material removal rates during both steady and fluctuating engagement. This results in fewer index changes, longer tool life and a more predictable production process when tackling medium to heavy steel tasks.

Secure seating and fast indexability for reduced downtime

Constructed to the ISO‑standard form, the triangular 60° geometry and the cylindrical hole with single‑side countersink ensure reproducible clamping and positive seating in compatible toolholders. Compatibility depends on matching the insert form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness to the holder; this standardisation simplifies holder selection and enables quick, repeatable index changes that cut set‑up time and minimise production interruptions.

Edge geometry optimised for strength and surface quality

The 0.8 mm corner radius delivers a robust cutting edge that tolerates heavier depths of cut while still supporting acceptable surface finishes in roughing and finishing passes. The 7° relief angle balances strength and clearance, and the single‑sided chipbreaker is tailored to promote controlled chip formation across a range of feeds. With a plate thickness of 3.97 mm and size 16, the insert offers a stable platform for both medium and heavier cutting tasks where edge integrity and consistent contact geometry are critical.

Application scope and material suitability

Designed specifically for turning operations, this indexable insert is recommended for medium to heavy machining of steel, where changing engagement or light interruption calls for increased toughness. The carbide substrate provides the hardness required for abrasive wear resistance, while the coating enhances thermal protection. The insert’s ISO designation and dimensional data support integration into standard turning tool systems for workshop and production environments seeking predictable performance.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The TCMT16T308 T9225 insert is optimised for medium to heavy steel machining; the T9225 CVD coating and carbide substrate enhance wear resistance for these applications.

Which toolholders are compatible with this ISO insert?
Compatibility requires matching the insert form, relief angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness; the TCMT16T308 uses a standard triangular 60° seating compatible with ISO‑type turning holders.

How does the T9225 grade affect performance?
The T9225 CVD‑coated grade combines toughness and thermal stability, offering robust performance under variable engagement and improved resistance to edge chipping during interrupted cuts.

What is the corner radius and how does it influence cutting?
This insert has a 0.8 mm corner radius; that geometry increases edge strength for heavier cuts while still allowing acceptable surface finish in finishing passes.

Are replacement screws and clamping kits required for mounting?
Mounting necessitates a matching holder, underlay/clamping set and the correct fastening hardware; selection depends on the chosen toolholder system and tolerance class.
