TNMG160408 AH8015 triangular turning insert by Tungaloy — PVD‑coated carbide, 0.8 mm corner radius

A TNMG160408 AH8015 ISO triangular insert designed for external and internal turning, optimised for the general machining of heat‑resistant alloys.

• TNMG160408 AH8015, PVD‑coated carbide
• Triangular insert, 60° cutting geometry
• Double-sided with cylindrical locating hole
• 0.8 mm corner radius for versatile turning

Consistent machining of heat‑resistant alloys with balanced wear and stability

The AH8015 grade is a PVD‑coated carbide formulation selected for an even balance between wear resistance and cutting‑edge stability, which benefits shops machining heat‑resistant alloys. The coating improves resistance to built‑up edge and softens the impact of thermal cycling, so the insert maintains form over longer periods. Fewer unexpected edge failures translate into steadier cycle times and more consistent surface finishes, making the grade suitable for general‑purpose turning where predictable performance is required.

Fast set‑up and repeatability through ISO geometry and secure locating

As an ISO‑standard triangular plate with a 60° cutting geometry and a cylindrical locating hole, the insert is compatible with holders that match TNMG form, clearance angle, tolerance class and thickness. The double‑sided layout provides two usable edges per index, while the 4.76 mm plate thickness contributes to stable clamping. For production environments this means reduced changeover time and straightforward inventory management, since the insert interfaces reliably with standard external holders and boring bars.

Economical production through fewer regrinds and predictable tool life

The combination of the AH8015 grade and the 0.8 mm corner radius yields a compromise between edge strength and detail in the turning profile, permitting robust roughing and controlled finishing in one insert family. That balance reduces the frequency of insert changes and supports longer tool programmes, which cuts downtime and lowers per‑part tooling cost. Where surface quality and process stability matter, this insert family offers a cost‑effective approach to repeatable component production.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The TNMG160408 AH8015 insert is designed primarily for the general machining of heat‑resistant alloys; the AH8015 grade offers an even compromise between wear resistance and edge stability for such materials.

Is the insert compatible with standard TNMG toolholders?
Yes. The insert follows ISO TNMG geometry and uses a cylindrical locating hole, so it is compatible with holders specified for TNMG160408 geometry provided the holder matches the form, clearance angle and thickness.

How does the 0.8 mm corner radius affect cutting performance?
A 0.8 mm corner radius increases edge strength compared with smaller radii, improving robustness during heavier cuts while still allowing acceptable surface finish for many turning operations.

How many usable cutting edges does the plate offer?
The triangular, double‑sided design provides multiple indexed cutting edges per plate, enabling re‑indexing to restore a fresh cutting edge and extending overall insert life.

What advantages does the PVD coating provide?
The PVD coating on the AH8015 grade enhances resistance to adhesion and wear at elevated temperatures, contributing to consistent cutting performance when machining demanding alloys.
