TCGT16T304 TH10 – ISO triangular turning insert (uncoated carbide), Tungaloy

TCGT16T304 TH10 is an ISO‑standard triangular indexable insert engineered for precision external and internal turning applications, particularly where low cutting forces and clean surface finishes are required.

• ISO triangular insert for turning applications
• Uncoated carbide grade TH10 for low cutting forces
• 0.4 mm corner radius for accurate profile turning
• Cylindrical hole with one-sided countersink for fixing

Higher throughput with a sharp universal grade

The uncoated carbide TH10 grade delivers a sharp cutting edge that reduces cutting forces and supports cleaner surface finishes in many non‑ferrous machining tasks. This results in improved productivity through higher material removal rates with less power demand and reduced tendency for built‑up edge. The indexable design allows fast, repeatable insert changes so cycle times are kept short and process stability is increased. For shops aiming to boost efficiency on soft metals, the combination of a sharp grade and stable geometry provides tangible time‑and‑cost benefits.

Consistent profiles and secure clamping for repeatable parts

The insert’s ISO triangular geometry with a 60° included angle and 0.4 mm corner radius gives a defined cutting point for profile accuracy and toolpath predictability. The 7° clearance angle supports smooth chip flow and reduces rubbing on the flank. The insert is supplied with a cylindrical hole and a one‑sided countersink (40°–60°) to ensure secure clamping in compatible holders; compatibility is determined by form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness. This predictable mounting reduces vibration and supports consistent surface quality across batches.

System benefits that reduce downtime and handling effort

The indexable insert is designed as part of a complete system: ISO insert, matching external holder or boring bar, underlay/clamping set and spare screws. The standardised interface means replacement is rapid and operator training is straightforward, which helps to minimise machine downtime and simplify inventory management. The 3.97 mm plate thickness and 16 mm size ensure robust seating in typical turning holders while the single‑sided chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation appropriate to the intended materials.

Suitable applications and material scope

Optimised for external and internal turning, the insert is particularly effective on non‑ferrous materials and operations where a clean finish and low cutting force are priorities. The single‑sided chipbreaker and sharp edge make it a practical choice for finishing passes and light to medium depth cuts. Where alternative workpiece materials or heavy roughing are required, selection of a different grade or chipbreaker matched to stability and material will deliver better wear performance and process security.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The TCGT16T304 TH10 insert is optimised for non‑ferrous materials and applications where a sharp, uncoated carbide edge supports low cutting forces and clean surfaces.

How does the insert fix to a holder?
Fixation is by the central cylindrical hole with a one‑sided countersink; secure clamping requires a holder compatible with the insert’s form, clearance angle, tolerance class, fastening method, size and thickness.

What effect does the 0.4 mm corner radius have on machining?
A 0.4 mm corner radius provides a balance between profile accuracy and edge strength, allowing fine finishing while maintaining resistance to minor edge chipping during light to medium cuts.

Is the cutting edge coated?
This insert uses an uncoated carbide cutting edge (TH10), chosen to deliver sharpness and low shear forces for the intended material range.

Which operations suit this insert best?
The insert is intended for external and internal turning, particularly finishing passes or general machining of non‑ferrous workpieces where surface quality and low cutting forces are important.
