RCMT 1606M0 AH8015 RCMT1606M0-RS Tungaloy turning insert — PVD-coated carbide, hole & 7° clearance

The RCMT1606M0-RS AH8015 Tungaloy insert is an ISO-standard indexable turning insert designed for general turning of heat-resistant alloys and a wide range of engineering materials

• ISO turning insert RCMT1606M0-RS
• PVD-coated carbide AH8015
• RS chipbreaker for controlled chips
• Cylindrical hole with countersink

Consistent performance for demanding turning operations

The combination of a PVD-coated carbide matrix and the AH8015 grade delivers a balance of wear resistance and edge stability that suits prolonged machining of heat-resistant alloys and mixed batches. Conformity to the ISO turning insert series means compatibility is governed by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness, which simplifies holder selection and reduces setup errors. The PVD layer improves thermal resistance at the cutting edge, extending effective tool life under elevated cutting temperatures without sacrificing surface quality.

Secure clamping and effective chip control for repeatable parts

Designed with a cylindrical hole plus a single-side countersink (40°–60°) and a modest 7° clearance, the geometry supports secure clamping and repeatable seating in a range of external holders and boring bars. The RS chipbreaker is optimised for controlled chip formation during both external and internal turning, reducing nestling and minimising interruption to the machining cycle. With a plate diameter of 16 mm and a thickness of 6.35 mm, the insert offers a compact yet robust footprint that helps maintain stability in less rigid set-ups.

Productivity through material versatility and straightforward selection

The AH8015 grade is presented as a first choice for general machining of heat-resistant alloys, providing broad material coverage across stainless derivatives and alloyed steels typically encountered in aerospace and power-generation components. The insert’s neutral corner radius and chip control make it suitable for a variety of operations where consistent surface finish and tool life are priorities. For process planning, pairing this insert with the matching ISO-compatible holder, support pad and correct clamping screws yields improved cycle times and lower tooling costs per part. Technical guidance for material-specific parameter windows can be provided to ensure optimal cutting speeds and feeds.
