DNGA150402 BX360 rhombic turning insert (CBN, 55°) by Tungaloy

The DNGA150402 BX360 is a rhombic ISO turning insert designed for finishing operations on hardened steels and, depending on the variant, cast iron.

• CBN grade BX360 for hardened steels
• ISO‑standard DNGA150402 form, 55° geometry
• Rhombic insert with 0.2 mm corner radius
• Cylindrical hole; compatibility via size & thickness

Consistent finishing of hardened components

The BX360 grade uses CBN (cubic boron nitride) to deliver superior wear resistance in demanding finishing operations on hardened steels. CBN is a superhard cutting material that maintains edge integrity at high contact temperatures, which translates into longer tool life and fewer indexings. For production runs where surface finish and dimensional stability matter, the result is reduced rework and more predictable cycle times.

Geometry and seating designed for reliable clamping

The rhombic DNGA form with a 55° included angle provides a versatile cutting geometry for external and internal turning. The 0° relief and the precise ISO interface ensure that seating is repeatable when the insert is mounted in a compatible holder. The 0.2 mm corner radius supports a controlled edge strength for finishing passes, reducing the tendency for microchipping while keeping surface integrity high.

Optimised process performance and selection guidance

Selecting a CBN grade like BX360 is recommended where abrasiveness or high hardness would rapidly wear conventional grades. The combination of a carbide substrate and a CBN cutting layer enables high cutting speeds and consistent finishing, lowering cost per part in the long run. When choosing inserts for this application, match the insert form, thickness and tolerance class to the holder to preserve process stability and avoid unexpected vibration.

Compatibility, mounting and practical notes

The insert is an ISO‑standard turning plate in DNGA size and fits holders that accept the DNGA150402 form with a cylindrical hole for clamping. The plate thickness of 4.76 mm and the nominal size of 15 mm must be observed when selecting a toolholder; compatibility is determined by form, free angle, tolerance class, fixing method, size and thickness. Note that this grade has no chipbreaker and is optimised for finish cuts rather than heavy roughing.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The DNGA150402 BX360 employs CBN and is intended primarily for hardened steels; depending on the variant, it can also be used for cast iron.

How does the insert mount in a toolholder?
Mounting depends on matching the DNGA form, thickness (4.76 mm) and the holder's tolerance class; the plate uses a cylindrical hole for secure clamping.

Is this grade suitable for roughing operations?
The BX360 CBN grade is optimised for finishing and wear‑intensive end machining rather than heavy roughing; it has no chipbreaker and performs best in finish cuts.

Which feature ensures repeatable seating and stable cutting?
The ISO‑standard DNGA150402 geometry combined with precise thickness and a defined relief angle provides predictable seating and process stability for repeatable results.
