VCMT 160404 T9225 — ISO turning insert for external and internal turning, Tungaloy

A VCMT160404-TM T9225 insert engineered for ISO‑standard turning, optimised for medium to heavy steel machining where toughness and consistent chip control are required

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9225
• Robust universal grade for medium–heavy steel
• ISO rhombic insert, size 16 mm
• 7° relief angle for versatile applications

Durable cutting performance for variable steel machining

The VCMT160404-TM T9225 insert combines a CVD coating with cemented carbide substrate to provide a wear‑resistant cutting edge that copes well with fluctuating engagement conditions. The T9225 grade is designed as a robust universal solution, offering a balance of wear resistance and thermal stability that helps maintain dimensional accuracy during extended production runs. For interrupted cuts or slightly unstable setups, the increased toughness reduces edge chipping and promotes predictable tool life, lowering overall process costs per component.

Precise geometry for consistent chip control and secure clamping

Geometry and clamping determine in‑service behaviour: the rhombic shape and 16 mm inscribed circle, combined with a 4.76 mm thickness and 0.4 mm corner radius, yield predictable engagement and surface finish. A 7° relief angle supports versatility across turning tasks, while the cylindrical hole with a one‑sided countersink (40°–60°) ensures secure seating and repeatable clamping. The chipbreaker TM is tuned for steel machining, promoting short, controllable chips that simplify evacuation and reduce nose wear, contributing to more consistent part quality.

System integration that reduces downtime and simplifies tool management

This insert is part of an ISO‑based system comprising the insert, suitable holder, shim and clamp set, and replacement screws; compatibility is defined by form, relief angle, tolerance class, attachment method, size and thickness. Integrating ISO standard inserts into existing toolholder platforms allows quick index‑and‑replace operations, minimising machine downtime. The combination of grade and geometry supports reproducible results across batches, improving throughput and lowering variability without complex parameter tuning.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert best suited for? The VCMT160404-TM T9225 insert (Tungaloy, SKU 6781503-Tungaloy) is optimised for medium to heavy steel machining and performs well where variable engagement and occasional interruptions demand toughness.

What advantages does the T9225 grade provide? T9225 is a CVD‑coated cemented carbide grade that combines enhanced wear resistance and thermal stability with sufficient toughness, so the VCMT160404-TM T9225 insert maintains edge life under demanding cutting conditions.

How is compatibility with toolholders ensured? Compatibility for the VCMT160404-TM T9225 insert depends on form, relief angle, tolerance class, attachment method, size and thickness; matching these dimensions with the chosen holder guarantees secure fit and repeatable performance.

What is the role of the TM chipbreaker? The chipbreaker TM on the VCMT160404-TM T9225 insert produces short, manageable chips during steel turning, improving evacuation, reducing risk of entanglement and supporting consistent surface finish.

What are the key geometric dimensions to check before selection? Check the inscribed circle (16 mm), thickness (4.76 mm), corner radius (0.4 mm), relief angle (7°) and the hole/countersink style; these determine seating, clamping and cutting behaviour for the VCMT160404-TM T9225 insert.
